Agreed, to a point.  I think that API docs should be like this: nested.
We really just need additional higher-level docs and improved tutorials
that will give users an idea of how to get started, and then they can
use the API docs more as a reference, rather than as the only way to
figure out how to get things done :)

Agreed, again.  Please move this discussion to the elixir mailing
list, if you don't mind, as it doesn't really have anything to do with
TurboGears :)

Thanks!
