[Nel] New to Nevrax

[Thomas Scott]

My name is Thomas Scott and I am the lead developer on an MMORPG called 
Caeron3000.

I just stumbled across Nevrax today while searching for a free networking 
engine for my MMORPG.  Much to my surprise I found an entire MMORPG engine for 
free.  I have made a brief perusal of the documents and looked at the CVS tree 
and I have seen the screens and movies from the Ryzom game.  However, I am 
looking for the quickest path to learning this system and seeing if it will 
suit our development needs.  Can anyone in the community help me with the 
following?

1. What source files should I download?  I noticed there was an nel.zip and 
also an nel-20020402.zip.  Which is correct?  And what other source packages 
should I have.
2. What is the best place to start on documentation?  Are online docs the only 
source or are there consolidated offline docs that I can print easily?
3. What is everyone's impression of Nevrax after working with it?

That's it for now.

Thanks,
Tom
