I have had lots of questions with how to start with OpenMRS so my way of giving back to this great community is a couple of guides - not sure where they will fit (that is why I am sharing early drafts) on common questions that we have asked and solved
Here is the first one - please do provide comments, and feedback, I do not know where this will end up but I hope it is useful

Happy 2016 folks
