Why has it not be changed yet? See my comments below, comments are in brackets ().
Step 1. Copy plugin files into their required directories (what's the dir name? required???)
Uncompress the archive files into your /plugins directory (uncompress to required dor then it says, uncompress to path/to/GL/plugins now, where do i uncompress???). It will create a filemgmt subdirectories for the files. You will need to move the files in the admin and public subdirectories (oh, this is getting users confused! uncompress to where first of all, have not even be made clear yet, now users have to copy the files to admin and public_html folders) to their appropriate directory as indicated below.
1.1 public_html/ - Main program files
The files in the public directory under your new plugins/filemgmt folder need to be moved to /public_html/filemgmt directory
I've a working version of filemgmt and have also tried out GL's forum before @ www.itcow.com and i've got it working before and recently, was trying out some other stuffs, did a fresh installation of GL 1.3.8-pl1, download filemgmt, forum
Also see http://www.langfamily.ca/forum/viewtopic.php?forum=2&showtopic=609
I hope i can help re-write the documentation for such great plugins! I myself was copying files here and there but have never really understnad or know (as i know i'm i have some duplication of files that are not needed) where to place the files etc.
To add, the documentation for Forum are just a modification of the Filemgmt's documentation. I'm sure we're all, all right with these so long instructions are clear.
