[ic] Pee-Poor Documentation Rant

Our company is in the process of setting up the IC system.  We are going though the learning curve like everyone else out there, and
looking through these endless lists of questions.

With this in mind, >>IF<< someone out there does write some documentation for the user (i.e. a step-by-step how-to manual, or just
some comments on how to use a particular command) how about Red Hat setting up a space on their server for "Documentation"?

The email lists are great for finding another person that has the same problems as you do, but when it comes to documentation, you
still have to wade through the email.  It is frankly a waste of time.  Let's go to ONE PLACE to find the documentation (or LINKS to
documentation).  As more is written by other people, we would soon have a fairly complete set.

Since this is free, I don't expect Red Hat to write a manual to hold your hand while you go through this process, but that means the
users could if they wanted to.  (Or perhaps Osborne or McGraw-Hill or Sams has a book about IC?  Does anyone know?  I did a search
on the InterNet for "InterChange" the other day, but nothing like this came back.)

If anyone has links to documentation or has written documentation, let me know.
