Matt,


OK. I will volunteer. I do have some time and can put a couple-few hours
a day into it.

Please contact me directly. I would like to talk to you about a format,
etc.

I have written many documents about products, etc and would like to
return the favor of all the help I have asked about in the past. Like
you said, this is open source and we all have to grab an oar and paddle.

Mike

more explanatory document.

That's because they're written by the programmers... seriously.. 
programmers think like computers, and most programmers write LOUSY 
documentation as a result. (I'm a programmer, I know I'm lousy at
writing 
pretty documents explaining how to use my work)

Hence the need for normal humans to write docs.
