    Description

      Root cause

      We must emphasize the node structure - which is different for CE vs. EE

      Besides that it is a very relevant use case. Where newbs may start with the travel-demo, at some point the must most probably want their own site def. - with EE or CE.
      For Multisite we actually have not too bad docs with How to use Multisite.
      Now let's have something for just one simple site def. (for CE, EE).

      Here is a hipchat comment from amanzoni

      We have a prospect, who's using the CE version.
      He was trying to set a site definition by reading the documentation. But it seems that all the doc is describing how to do for the Enterprise version only.
      Is that wanted ?

      He started from that one
      https://documentation.magnolia-cms.com/display/DOCS56/Template+prototype
      I noticed that for CE, you need to put your nodes directly at the roots
      I don't know if it is a bug or if it has changed recently

      How to create a site definiton from scratch

      for both CE and EE version

      • mention the different node structure for with/without multisite
      • explain usage of site app
      • provide a super simple example which works for both (so needs variants, kind of)

      Example needs to be further defined!

      Add-on: Understanding site example(s) on demo

      Note that we also have different examples on CE vs EE when it comes to travel demo (with sportstation on EE)
