Hi all, I'm using hobo on Windows since september, and this is just my humble oppinion.
The documentation that was a great help at first was the Agility tutorial. Afaik, most newbies are getting their first impression with hobo through this tutorial. I think it should be kept up to date with the upcoming hobo releases. But probably, the piece of documentation that may have the biggest impact in the future is the manual. I think that almost every widelly used framework or application relly on well written manuals.
