Webapp deployed; documentation under way

Today's achievements:
- Uploaded the webapp and got it started under Tomcat dev on Pear. This was tricky -- as usual, nothing worked until we restarted Tomcat, and that process, as documented elsewhere today, involves killing the old process. After getting it running, I had to do a full reindex of the collection before everything showed up. I think that was due to some .lck files which had been part of the upload, and had prevented the dbx files from uploading properly.
- I've created a new schema using oddbyexample.xsl, and then by careful tuning to allow for a bit more flexibility than you get by default. I think it's pretty tight, but it should allow for some new markup that I think needs to be in there, particularly in the header.
- I've started the documentation in the form of an XML file in the info subcollection. So far, I've documented, in great detail, dealing with the Subversion repository.
- Thinking that the documentation in particular is likely to be printed out, I've done some work on the stylesheet to suppress the printing of headers, footers etc. The result works quite well, although it would probably be a good idea to suppress the printing of background images specifically, rather than leaving it to the browser settings.
