Regarding the dcumentation, I've started to refactor the one we have  
and published some. I'm taking the doc back on the redmin, and will  
move *.typosphere.org on it but the blog.

If someone here have the time to proofread this :
http://redmine.typosphere.org/wiki/typo/Before_Installing_Typo
http://redmine.typosphere.org/wiki/typo/Install_Typo_with_Typo_installer
http://redmine.typosphere.org/wiki/typo/Install_Typo_from_the_gem
http://redmine.typosphere.org/wiki/typo/Secure_Typo_admin_with_HTTPS

I will add docs on deploying Typo under various things tonight :
– Apache + mod_rails
– Apache + fastcgi
– Apache + mongrel
– Nginx + Thin
– Nginx + Fastcgi
– Nginx + mongrel
– Lighttpd + fastcgi
– Lighttpd + Thin
– Lighttpd + mongrel

However, we do officially recommend and support mod_rails as the best  
and easiest way to run any Rails app.

Regarding my appreciation, I know I've made some mistakes (5.0 was one  
of them : relying too much on the tests and not testing in production  
mode enough). However, I prefer having negative feedback as long as  
it's argumented and documented, it's much better than just "yay, your  
appz is so cool" when you want to improve things.

Regards,
Frédéric
