There is also a wiki for ppl who don't want to dive straight into docbook and 
svn - I've tried to maintain a list of features that are still undocumented 
at http://rokymotion.pwsp.net/wiki/Category:Handbook although there's still 
more that needs to be added.
Register an account on the wiki, select your favourite area, and document 
away!
