Introduction

The User portion of the documentation is focused on getting new users
up to speed with all the capabilities of GeoServer. The Introduction
contains background information on the GeoServer, and the How To Help
section details how you can easily become involved in the GeoServer
project.

Users wanting to get started quickly can go to the Users Guide, which
contains cross cutting links into the full docs on how to get
GeoServer up and running quickly.

Users new to OGC protocols will find interesting documentation on
other sites, such as full blown web mapping courses and the like.
User Configuration

The full depth of user configuration of GeoServer is found under 2
Configuring GeoServer. The sections on 1 Service Configuration and 2
Data Configuration are focused on the web admin tool, and detail all
the possible options. 1.1 Install GeoServer gives in depth information
on how install initially, while 4 GeoServer Data Directory details an
easy path to upgrade and distribute alternate configurations of
GeoServer. And 6 GeoServer in Production Environment gives tips for
setting up GeoServer to actual serve data, instead of just demoing a
sample instance.
User Tutorials

The 4 Tutorials section contains a variety of step by step guides to
get started with various aspecs of GeoServer. Some of these are linked
to in the Users Guide, but some are not.
Beyond GeoServer

The final section is 6 Beyond GeoServer, which contains a variety
information that is not directly related to GeoServer, but is likely
quite useful to our users. This is the place in the documentation that
is the easiest to get involved, and where users can have the biggest
impact, since the core developers of GeoServer have an easy time
documenting GeoServer itself, but the knowledge is spread more thin
when we go beyond. The Clients section contains information about
clients that are known to work with GeoServer. Please feel free to add
any additional information, about experiences and how to configure the
clients for GeoServer, as well as new WMS or WFS clients. Data Loading
contains potentially helpful information on loading up TIGER data into
GeoServere, tips and tricks that we've found when doing it ourselves.
And Spec Explanations and Sample Requests contains information that is
more generic to how the open interfaces such as WMS, WFS, SLD, and
Filter work - information that is quite useful to new users, but is in
no way unique to GeoServer. We're hoping to expand this section in to
its own space, but for now this is just a holding section for spec
related info that doesn't fit elsewhere. Finally 7 User Experiences is
the easiest place for new contributors to make an impact, as we
encourage informal experiences, and just links to GeoServer
applications.
