  Yeah, right. The README for moderncv is very short and includes this:
 'Until
  a decent manual is written, you can always look in the examples
 directory
  for some examples. Documents can be compiled into dvi, ps or pdf.'

  The example LyX file points to documentation that doesn't actually exist.
  There is no 'more information'.

 To fill this gap, there are a number of tutorials and docs on the WWW.
 The example file may rather point to, e.g.,

 http://frank.uvena.de/de/LaTeX/moderncv/ (German)

 http://www.surefoss.org/workflow/akademische-lebenslaufe-mit-latex-und-dem-moderncv-package/
 (German)

 http://www.linux-community.de/Internal/Artikel/Print-Artikel/LinuxUser/2012/09/Bewerbungen-erstellen-mit-der-LaTeX-Klasse-Modern-CV/

 (As to the original misleading title of this bug report: IMO support and
 documentation of commercial software (in general) is by no means better.
 Of course, whith widely used programs the chance to find a competent user
 nearby is higher the with of the box programs.
