Re: Add webdriver documentation to docs available at seleniumhq
(http://code.google.com/p/selenium/issues/detail?id=10)

Suggest the first task here is to drop key WebDriver wiki pages into
the existing documentation, possibly as an additional chapter to start
with. What are must haves for Selenium 2.0 alpha documentation? After
a quick look I'll make an initial suggestion of the following:

- GettingStarted
- NextSteps
- UsingWebDriver
- SeleniumEmulation
- XPathInWebDriver
- RoadMap (Link from Docs to Wiki?)
- Tips and Tricks (Link from Docs to Wiki?)
- Relevant questions from the FAQ
- FurtherResources (Link from Docs to Wiki?)

For future maintenance, are we going to retire the wiki pages covered
by the documentation (or point them to the relevant sections) rather
than have duplication - and possibly out of date info?

I've not committed anything to the documentation for ages, but I'm
very keen on getting a Christmas release of Selenium 2 out.
Considering the increased development effort from everyone recently
I'm going to get involved as much as I can.

It would be great if people can take a look at the patch for chapter 1
attached to the issue (http://code.google.com/p/selenium/issues/detail?
id=10), it's just a start, and might not be the right direction... I'm
very keen to clean up the 'Supported Browsers' table, so any feedback
on my changes there are encouraged.

Thanks,
Dave

A very *minor* recommendation. In chapter 1, you state

"(with the limitations this brings, such as the "same origin"
problem)"

would it be possible to expand on the "same origin" problem?
Preferably, not getting overly technical.

A good suggestion. Would it be better to omit this rather than
overcomplicate the brief introduction?

I've wrote some info about the same origin policy in the Sel-RC chapter. We can link to it:
http://seleniumhq.org/docs/05_selenium_rc.html#the-same-origin-policy
