You rang? :) I had once upon a time started an introcution at

        http://wiki.pylonshq.com/display/pylonscookbook/Concepts+of+Pylons

I received a lot of positive feedback about it and started working on a 
longer article. The last state of work can be found at

        http://workaround.org/pylons/beginning-pylons.html

Then Ben started calling for more documentation for the 0.9.7 documentation 
and introced Sphinx and put the documentation under

        http://docs.pylonshq.com

After a little chit-chat with Ben I agreed to put further work on the 
article into the official docs and submitted an introductional chapter. 
Ben didn't seem to get it online yet and Graham Higgins has also written 
something on the topic. So I think Ben still has merging the two documents 
on his todo list. At least I hope my text doesn't just vanish. Anyway, 
Graham's work in progress is currently at

        http://bel-epa.com/pylonsdocs/index.html

which also contains an "About Pylons" chapter. My own contribution can be 
read at

        http://workaround.org/pylons/docs/introduction.html

which is apparently not yet merged into the official docs. Ben didn't tell 
me that I got fired so I still have faith. :)

I assume the confusion is complete now with all the URLs. But I'm very 
convinced that moving all the wiki mess into one consistent documentation 
(at docs.pylonshq.com) is the right way. And I hope that it's get done 
soon.

Cheers

P.S.: @Graham: Great work!
