[openssl-dev] [openssl.org #4157] Download Documentation

[Tom Jay via RT]

Hello,

Why is there no meaningul documentation on the OpenSSL download page? Why, if I'm building a SSL-enabled webserver, do I need to spend so much time on OpenSSL specifically? Why do the other tasks, of which there are many, not requires as much time as OpenSSL to compile, install and use, despite being equally complex? Could you imagine having to spend as much time on everything, that you do on OpenSSL, just to get it working?

Useful steps would be as follows:

1. Provide meaningful documentation on the download page. Some kind of explanations of the versioning system would be useful, other than me trying to guess what the best version for me to download and install is.
2. Provde a summary of the installation steps. Something like Apache would be useful, where they just give you basic steps to get you up and running.
3. Some kind of useful examples of common usages of OpenSSL would be appreciated. I'm still trawling through the documentation trying to figure out how to do what I want to do and am relying heaving on 3rd party guides to figure out what I want to do.

Thanks!

Tom
