I think that is part of the problem.  I know I have problems finding
things simply because there is so much of it to sift through.  Yeah, I
can grep the files or search the doc in the browser, but I don't
always guess the right word or phrase to search for.  I usually find
what I'm looking for but sometimes it just seems harder than it ought
to be.  I'm not complaining, I'm just saying that the documentation is
probably the weakest part of the whole package.  I'm very much looking
forward to the new documentation.
