We always can use help 2.

You've hit upon why newbie eyes are still important contributors - they can tell us where things need to get stronger. I've said it quite a few times, but let me say it again: **no one is too new to help out with the documentation**. > <snip> > So please don't take it personally, all of us appreciate the hard work > that is being done both on the code and documentation but looking > through the eyes of a total newbie, the documentation is...well, can > be frustrating at times. Well, uh, I'll try to make it "less frustrating"... somehow. :) There will always be a bit of an uncomfortable learning curve that is a natural part of learning a new skill. If that's the frustration you're referencing, then that's just life :). If there's something *in particular* you feel could change, please log a ticket so we can make an effort to change things.
