The mootools.net/docs are API docs. It's not a guide. That's why there
is no 'Getting started' section and that's why there are no demos.

I don't really see this point. When you click on a Class, all methods
are mentioned on the right, clicking that gets you straight to the
explanation.

The documentation is categorized the way MooTools itself is
categorized, by modules/packages (whatever you want to call them).
This is also because they're API docs. You get to pick the modules you
want, and use those, and you'll find the documentation for those
modules right where you'd expect them. Perhaps taking a look at
http://mootools.net/core will clear things up a bit.

I do agree that this doesn't help people who just want to download
MooTools and use it with plugins X, Y and Z. But then another question
is whether those people are MooTools' target audience. Like Arieh
mentioned, for more guide-like explanations, mootorial.com/wiki is a
better starting point.
