Help to get a user guide

Hi,

I'm going to jiggle around the replies to avoid the top posting and remove
unnecessary quoting.

I think there are two separate issues here. First, the question of what
format we offer our documentation in. Secondly, the question of the
quality or comprehensive nature of our documentation. Obviously converting
our documentation into PDF is not going to magically affect its quality. I
was addressing the first point (and I think the original poster was too),
and I think Chris is addressing the second point.

On that second point - no one pretends that our documentation is full or
perfect. It is the best that we can do with the current resources and
processes. Obviously, everyone is welcome to contribute and/or suggest
improvements to those processes (we have some specifications open for that
too), but simply "dissing" the documentation is not going to help it
improve.
