Thanks for your reply, I'm anxiously awaiting new documentation. 

In the mean time, who should I alert when documentation is wrong even?  
For instance, node.conf has references to the NX mailing list...  that 
from what I understand has been closed.  It is things like this that 
cause me to need to rethink everything as I read.

Wiki's are great at being a living document...  that, at read time, 
should be current.

Thanks for your work...
