Hi Dave, it's great that you pointed out the need to make things understandable/usable for the whole team! I added a section to the tasks page (I have not much experience with eUML, so it needs to be improved) and added the remaining questions in your mail to the section that Linus addded.
Everybody should not only add information to the wiki, but also questions/comments!
