FWIW, I wrote the MooTorial AND the original docs for MooTools because I wanted my organization (CNET) to adopt it. If you want to learn MooTools, read through the source. No other thing will teach you half as much about JavaScript. Read each file until you understand what everything is doing and I promise you you'll emerge a JavaScript badass.
