Dear OFBiz Community,

Our team has been actively contributing to the Apache OFBiz ecosystem, and
we=E2=80=99ve recently started developing a series of tutorial documents ai=
med at
helping new users get started with OFBiz Manufacturing.

These tutorials are designed to serve as a *user manual* for those
exploring or implementing the manufacturing module in Apache OFBiz. Some of
the initial topics we=E2=80=99ve covered include:

   - How to set up a BOM (Bill of Materials) in Apache OFBiz
   - How to configure Routing
   - How to set up MRP

and many more topics in the pipeline

Our intent with these documents is threefold:

   - *Support new users* with clear, step-by-step guidance on manufacturing
   setup in Apache OFBiz.
   - *Enhance search visibility* by targeting relevant keywords so these
   Confluence pages can rank well on Google and help direct relevant traffi=
c
   to the OFBiz ecosystem.
   - *Position Apache OFBiz as a strong option* for those exploring
   manufacturing software or MEPS solutions.


We=E2=80=99re now looking to publish these documents on the official Apache=
 OFBiz
Confluence platform, and we=E2=80=99d love to hear your thoughts on where t=
hey
would best fit. We=E2=80=99ve identified two possible spaces:


*1. **OFBiz End-User Documentation*
<https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBENDUSER/OFBiz+End+User+Docs=
+Home>

   - This space appears to be geared toward user manuals and could be a
   good fit for end-users seeking setup help.
   - We can create a =E2=80=9CManufacturing=E2=80=9D page under this space =
and add our
   tutorials as child pages.


*2. **Business Process Reference Book*
<https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/Manufacturing>

   - This space already has a subspace on Manufacturing and might also be
   suitable for publishing these documents as process references.

We=E2=80=99d appreciate the community=E2=80=99s input on where these tutori=
als would add
the most value and be easiest for users to discover. Once we finalize the
placement, we=E2=80=99re happy to begin publishing the content and will con=
tinue to
build and improve the documentation over time.

Looking forward to your feedback!
