Hi Bjoern,

Yes, I am aware of such. I had intended to update the Cluster docs as it's the more appropriate page, perhaps linking to it from the community log page.

I was hoping that people might send in their experiences so I could aggregate them and write the entries for them. There's always a lot of apathy towards documentation, and given that this is a feature used by a select few (even if many organisations use it, only a handful of people are actually doing the deployment), I figured that they might be more easily convinced to simply summarise their issues/experiences in a dozen bulletpoints. Additionally by aggregation we could easily identify common problems and highlight those for others to see.

That said...no one has replied to this yet. I fully intend to at least include mine, however I was holding out for some other replies.

Cheers,
Eric
