I believe that patches to the docs will 1. Be readily accepted (admittedly I'm not a committer or part of the docs team or ... but at least the wiki is world editable) 2. Help people who try to figure things out before coming to the list. Any chance you'll be willing to help clear up the parts you've found lacking?

I personally like being referred to the docs - that way I'm taught how to fish; not given a trout but YMMV. I guess the best answer is both an example and a reference; but that's digging up a thread which was closed IIRC.
