really nice ... the trial and error method :-)

But documention is a _must_!

For the start: could some people paint some graphics, charts and structure picture
(one picture says more then 1000 words) for the basic fundamentals!? This implied
a graphic environment: i vote for LaTeX.

If the pictures available, other (or the same people) can describe it.

Hartmut

PS: it's clear, that the documention cannot 100% up-to-date
