Hi Ed, Why do you say that the work should be done elsewhere, other than this group? This is the only place that everybody in the community regularly refers to, so it seems the logical place to start.
The call for a user guide / improved documentation is one that has been regularly repeated over the last several years - we need to actually start something and the plainest way to do that is for the new users who have questions to collaborate with the more experienced users who may have some answers and put something together that is at least of //some// use. I really think that distributed writing can work but it does require people to ditch some of the old assumptions about authority and hierarchy. A traditional model might have a 'master' draft document under the control of an editor, to which other people would submit contributions for approval. A much more 'messy', distributed approach might have 20 contributors, each maintaining their own working draft and drawing freely on each other's work in order to 'evolve towards' a finished product. The benefit to doing it this way is that nobody ever needs permission or approval to contribute. There is also never any need for disagreement because there is never a problem with maintaining multiple versions. Perhaps it's idealistic/naive to suppose that this can work, but there is only one way to find out.
