Learn how to use phpSitemapNG "kiting" release

After downloading and installing the latest release of phpSitemapNG please follow these steps:

1. Browse to your phpSitemapNG installation, e.g. if you installed into the home directory of your website, invoke http://www.yourdomain.com/phpSitemapNG/ . You'll now see the main screen of phpSitemapNG.
   
2. Have a look at the settings page. Make shure that the temp directory is set correct.
3. Now you can have a look at the plugins page: all available plugins will be listed above and if you've setup some plugins they'll be listed as Instances. Instances are plugins that have been setup.
   That means you can have multiple plugins of the same "type" - e.g. 2 crawler or 5 filesystem plugins. Or different Google Sitemaps output plugins - each for your website you want to generate sitemaps for.
   There are three kinds of plugins: input that adds url to phpSitemapNG, compute that manipulates url entries stored in phpSitemapNG and output plugins that exports the entries of phpSitemapNG.
1. Create instances of available plugins will set up new plugins that will be invoked when you invoke the apropriate actions (run, export - will be explained soon).
2. Edit settings of plugin instances.
3. Delete instances of plugins.
4. Press the run button to invoke all import plugin instances - get all urls.
   
5. Press the export button to export all imported urls with the output plugin instances.

There is still some functionality missing - the current release is the first development release.
