I like that, but maybe:

OpenLaszlo _Application_ Developer's Guide

Maybe I am being overly sensitive, but since we are an open-source  
project, I think we need to be careful to distinguish between the  
person who uses OL to make an application (Application Developer) and  
the person for whom OL _is_ the application (OpenLaszlo  
Implementor?), so the 'internals' version of the dev guide might be  
called:

OpenLaszlo Implementor's Guide

But not this.  Too many possessives for my little brain to parse.   
Paralleling the earlier suggestions, how about:

OpenLaszlo System Administrator's Guide

or maybe you mean to say

OpenLaszlo Application Deployer's Guide

?  But I think the target here is your general SysAdmin, not one  
specialized to only OL deployment.
