User Documentation is actually our second chance to make a good impression, it will be read after a user has downloaded GeoServer and poked through the Demos (best case), or when something has gone wrong.
The second senario for user documentation is that of reference, either used as context sensitive help directly from the GeoServer application, or consulted when the user wants to accomplish a specific task.
