Let me know what needs to be done....for little things like this, I can

Actually, it didn't stop me. I do have a CVS snapshot that I installed
and got working around Christmas. The problem with helping with the
documentation is the chicken-and-egg problem. I would like to help a
little at least, but if I don't know "jack about it", it is hard to
write a definitive guide ;-). But let me know if I could help with my
"vast, expansive knowledge" of Turbine "having written most of it
myself".

I did look at it. An "idiot's guide" of the flow (couple pages max) of
"here's where it starts, and then we do a), b), c) would really help.
I'm not asking for class documentation, that can easily be gotten simply
by importing into a decent IDE and looking at the examples (my
favourite: IBM Visual Age 3.0 for Linux, although it is still
JDK-1.1.x). But the "whys" and "hows" of doing typical things can help a
lot.
