I've been thinking about this since Lukas mentioned his faq last week and here are some questions that I've come up with based on my experiences while getting to grips with Pier: - a brief explanation of the key concepts of Pier and their relationships (kernel, structures, contexts, commands, main widgets, users, groups etc) -- this is the same point Sean makes. - how do I add a page - manually, and programmatically? - how do I change the security of a page - manually and programmatically? - how do I add/delete/change a user - manually and programmatically? - how do I change a page's security - manually and programmatically? - how do I write a link to another page in the same kernel - manually and programmatically? - how do I write a link that when clicked will execute a command against another page - manually and programmatically? - how do I change the admin password when I've forgotten it? (I know that you have the answer for that one :-) I've got a small application that does a lot of these things programmatically (creates a new Pier kernel, adds pages to it, allows users to register, creates pages for them, and amends the security on those pages), I went through a very steep learning curve while getting to that point, so it may be very useful for others getting started with Pier. There's a couple of bits of code I'd want to remove, but I'm happy to publish the rest of it.
