Hi Mark,

Sharing documentation would be fantastic. We highly appreciate since it 
is one of the critical parts in every open source project. If we can 
create an EJB sample application with Eclipse/Geronimo plug in with some 
screen prints would be ideal  :-) .

More documentation we get that would be more helpful for the new comers 
of the project since it would always open different perspective on user 
problems.

Use following link to register with Confluence.

Hernan might be able to help you if I am missing something in 
documentation.

Thanks,
Lasantha Ranaweera
