I know what you mean, I think it happens to all of us in one way or another.

What's important for me as a core developer is to provide you with
sufficient aid to make your way safely through the information, rather
than bein overwhelmed by it. If we can provide enough orientation so
everybody finds what he needs to know *next*, then we did a good job.

But this is at the same time the weak spot of all core developers. As we
are working with this stuff every day, and have done so mostly for years,
we have accumulated so much inside knowledge that guides us that we lost
sight for the perspective people have that are new to the project. We have
this insider blindness. Therefore, we depend on quality feedback from the
community, especially from those that see the project with fresh eyes. The
web site is a wiki, and without spoiling anything that is there already
you can add a document and advertise it on the mailing list, saying "Here
is a link to information that would have made my life easier had I had
this a week or a month ago".

I'm glad you took the effort to dig for it. I'm sure the web site (and the
mailing list, BTW) contain a wealth of information (as we are actually
*writing* a lot), it just takes a bit of dedication to find it.
