Woops, one correction, the Fusebox 4 list is on Yahoo, not topica, the
topica list is the regular fusebox list.

If you go to the Techspedition site, there are a couple of the chapters on
the xml grammar available from the FB4 book. http://www.techspedition.com
If you go to my site, I have written toolbars with help documentation on the
xml grammar for both homesite and dreamweaver as well as FB4 examples
(mostly for layout) from a simple hello world, to a blog.
http://www.shayna.com
The fusebox 4 forums on Topica are still fairly active, even though there
has been an effort to move to the fusebox forums.
The core files and sample downloads for FB4 can be found at
http://beta.fusebox.org. The xml cfx java files for the CF5 version can be
found at http://xml.fusebox.org.
I know the site is out of date, it hasn't been updated and needs doing,
however I'm not one of the site's owners and can't do much. These are all
free resources. I think Brian Kotek has stuff on his site as well.
As to the books, Discovering FB3 and Discovering FB4 are musts. I like the
New Riders book, but it tends to stray from FB3 and go into Flip (for that
it is a great resource).
Hope all this helps.

I'd also agree there seems to be a lack of documentation of FB3 and 4. I
would also agree that it seems that you are expected to buy the books to
get any real info - the fusebox site (other than forums) is next to
useless.
There is actually more useful information on
http://bombusbee.com/downloads.main.htm (check out the newbie guide)
than there is on the fusebox site.
That said, If you are set on learning FB3 and not FB4 (which I would
recommend instead) then grab a copy of discovering fusebox 3 with
coldfusion.
Finally as there has been plenty discussion of FB recently and its pros
and cons I would strongly advise anyone evaluating a framework to
actually evaluate it by using it and *not* by soliciting opinions. For
every argument against using fusebox there is one for using it!

I've had the same issue -- i.e. when you download the core files for
FB3, there's no explanation of how to build your fbx_circuits.cfm
template. There is a forum on the FB site, although that hardly counts
as documentation. It seems like they largely want you to buy the books
or take their classes. Just my impression of it anyway. Granted I'm
somewhat biased -- see the onTap framework in my sig below.
