[OFBiz] Users - Getting started continued

[David E. Jones]

Minh,

The first and most important thing for getting started with your 
project is: don't use the 3.0.0 release! Get the latest from SVN and 
build it. If you are considering customization of OFBiz this should be 
technically simple.

There are instructions and information for all of this in the Basic 
Production Setup document from Undersun Consulting and Integral 
Business Solutions. It is available as a free PDF download on the 
Undersun site at:

http://www.undersunconsulting.com/control/onlineinfo.html

More information on the OFBiz SVN repository is available at:

http://svn.ofbiz.org

The code base is pretty stable right now, so it is a good time to start 
working directly from SVN and updating regularly.

-David
