Hi Chris,

couple of admin items ... you'll get better response if you email the 
chameleon users list (chameleon@lists.maptools.org) but you will have to 
join the list first.  It's not high traffic (yet).  Also, please post to 
the list using text email (not HTML) if at all possible.

The installation instructions are for version 1.0 and are currently the 
only ones available.

As to version, the current stable version is 1.0.6 and the current 
development version is 1.1 (soon to be 1.99).  The development version 
is currently undergoing 'stabilization' of its API and will be starting 
into a beta release by the end of February with a target for releasing 
1.99 (or at least a release candidate) by end March.  That being said, 
much of 1.1 is pretty much useable as is, we have used it on a number of 
projects with great success.  Once 1.99 is out, we will wind down 
support for 1.0 as quickly as we can move everyone to 1.99 because it 
offers greater functionality and performance than 1.0 is able to.

If you are trying to get a production application out the door by end 
March then I would recommend starting with 1.0 as long as you are 
prepared to migrate in the summer.  If you are looking for something 
after March 31st, then I would recommend getting started with 1.1 right now.

Regarding installation difficulties, please let me know what, 
specifically, seems to be the problem and what you have done.

Cheers,

Paul
