[Openais] Problems with OpenAis version 0.81

[Yingyuan Cheng]

I am new to openais and eager to try it in my new cluster design, but 
the documentation for openais is too poor( just see 
http://www.openais.org/ ), and the  QUICKSTART is somewhat overdue(i 
downloaded openais-0.80.3.tar.gz).  I have to read tedious 
specifications about AIS from http://www.saforum.org/  to  begin my 
painful travel of openais .

Is there any way to make newbie feel easy to understand the notions 
inside AIS and use openais easily? or any advice would be welcome.

Anyhow, I appreciate the job done by openais for AIS.
