I downloaded and installed Selenesse about a month ago. selenese-wiki-
and-jar-20101102.zip.

I installed Selenium IDE for Firefox because of the tools it brings to
help build selenium script.

I installed Selenium-server-standalone-2.0.0.0.jar, which I think is
more recent than the RC version that the docs say. server is supposed
to be compatible with RC.

In reading the forum, I came accross a suggestion to get the latest
Fitnesse and installed that.
This entailed updating # characters to - characters in my tests.

Is there an updated recommended installation and install procedure?
