What we really should consider:
A lot of documentation can be bad.

Consider the toys from the big company with the damaged fruit: A reason
for the success of the toys is that documentations seems to be not
needed.

A lot of documentation can make people think that it is very
complicated.

For gEDA/PCB we have collected a lot of documentation over the years --
some is obsolete/outdated/redundant now or covers details, which most
people are not interested in -- at least not when starting with
gEDA/PCB.
