I just tend to be concentrating on the technology itself, so docs 
invariably fall a bit behind for me, until I get to the point where I 
start looking at what (for me) ends up being the secondary things.

Anyway, what I'd really appreciate is a whole "Documentation" 
subdirectory, and preferably in some standard format. Maybe real 
old-fashioned man-pages, but hey, especially with something like this, 
just html would be good too.

(And no, by "standard format" I do _not_ mean xml or stuff like that. I 
mean something that is actually easy to read ;)
