I agree that the FMEpedia is eventually going to be an awesome resource (it's already pretty darn good) but when I'm using FME my main point of reference is the little summary window that comes up below the Transformers.
If the information that I want doesn't come up there and I think of it I may try alternate resources such as the Functions and Factories portion of the helpfile, or FMEpedia. However, if the basic functionality of the transformer is not covered in the Transformer help, I am unlikely to ever know about it. I have seen a number of cases where it feels like the Workbench documentation is treated as a second class citizen, without the detailed information that is available in the Functions and Factories docs. I understand that this is an effect of the evolution of the product, but given that most new users are likely using Workbench exclusively, it needs to be addressed.

There's still a long way to go though...
