I've just come to pmWiki, and - despite more years than you want to know of IT experience, programming, wiki-playing, et al - I found it hard to get a basic understanding of how pmWiki works. The problem, I think, is that wikis use themselves to document (quote dogfood mantra), which is great if you know what it is you're trying to find out (if you see what I mean). What I wanted, however, was the equivalent of a reference manual that I could read from start to finish. No, I wouldn't remember all the detail, but I would remember what was in there, so that subsequently I could lookup the detail of how to accomplish a given task. The most frustrating thing with pmWiki is that it is very powerful, but there is no ONE place to go to find the detail. Instead there are many pages of information, each of which cross-reference others (in wiki style). At the start, we just want to read it linearly.
