New Documentation

In addition to the release of 2.2.0, the first phase of our new documentation is now complete. The documentation for JShop Server is now available in 5 parts - Installation (for installing the system), Update (for updating an existing installation to a newer version), Users (for general use of the system), Templates (for template editing) and Developers (for those looking to extend the system). All of these, apart from the Users documentation, are now available in both PDF and web-based forms from the download page for the 2.2.0 release. The web-based versions of the documentation provide registered users with the ability to comment on the individual pages.

Due to the work involved in moving the main Users manual to our new documentation system this is currently only available in PDF form and we are working to convert this to the new system as quickly as possible.
