I understand the lack of complete understanding of the API.  I understand
that no one can go an d pump out a page to fully rmploy the system.  We're
not asking you to.  

What I do need is for people to try to figure it out.  I know it's not as
easy as reading a manual.  It sucks.  The documentation will be done
within 2 days.  If anyone has any time before then, I urge you to just
look at stuff.  Because the more questions posted to this list, the more I
know to document.  After the initial document is written, I will not be
the sole maintainer.  I don't have the time. 

What I hope happens... is you have a question... you ask, it gets
answered, and you contribute that answer to the documentation in some
way... it's what this project is all about - so DO NOT let that fact scare
you from asking questions.  

I'll have more to say when the doc is done.  Thanks.
