Hi Mikko,

great effort. Thanks for tackling that.

When I tried to do something similar to this a couple
of years ago I came as far as

  http://www.zopyx.de/downloads/documentation/mysite.pdf

At least for the AT way of modeling content I think a lot
from there still applies.

I don't want to advertise it as it is completely missing
the "modern" way of doing things - simply because that was
not available at the time.

Still, it might provide you with some pointers as to what
to cover, etc.

Good luck,

	Raphael
