After an extended absence from Plone (well, I mostly missed the buildout craze), I had trouble sorting out lots of out of date and conflicting documentation to even get Plone running without using the Unified Installer. So since the Cioppino Sprint, I've been honing this document with lots of help from the community (esp. Alex Clark), and I'd finally like to submit it for review from this community. I would love to get a link to the final version of this document prominently on Plone.org and deprecate some other documentation that's been superseded. I would also like to continue writing docs with this style and tone as I feel they work well for people trying to approach Plone. I can tell you that I'm a huge fan of Plone, have used, integrated, and recommended Plone for years, and even I was turned off by the lack of clear direction in this very basic area.

So without further ado, I submit this document for review. Please use gDocs' commenting feature for suggestions or comments, edit directly if you find glaring typos or factual errors.
