Understand that trying to find the hobo way to do things is desirable
and helps others as well as advances the cause.  Wish I knew the
answer to this. I've been using hobo without trying to learn
everything about it, as I must produce working web apps for my job in
limited time.  So I'm not much help here.  What I have done is to
freeze a particular version of hobo, and if I can't figure out the
hobo way to do something I just hack around it until I get something
that works.  I know this reduces the maintainability and can create
other problems, but I do not always have the luxury of waiting for
something to be done by someone else.

My main concern with hobo is that it is geared around creating
websites, where I'm creating web apps with it.  What I mean by website
is something that is informational, or at most a blog type or shopping
site, where a web app is software that might normally run on an OS but
is instead developed in a client/server fashion with the web browser
being the universal client.  The problem with hobo is pages/forms
being tied to tables instead of tied to generic objects.  Am
constantly working around this.

A guess as to why the documentation is lagging is because hobo is
evolving and documenting something kind of makes it harder to change
it if it needs changed.  I think at 1.0 things will turn around, but
until then the newbie will probably struggle with it.  If you are
willing to struggle and take the chance, and Tom and other developers
continue to improve hobo then the effort will have been worth it.
