Diwaker if there is something missing from the thrift documentation then we should add it to the documentation rather than starting a second set of documentation. Fragmenting the guides and how-to docs will not benefit a new user who is just starting out and will only make it harder to keep things up to date. I agree that we are lacking in rich documentation, but i think that with a little effort we can greatly help the project as a whole. Your initial steps at adding missing pieces is great and I would love to incorporate this into the existing thrift wiki. If the wiki is proving to be too hard to maintain and having it checked into the repo would be better (similar to the website) then i'm all for that as well. If you would like to discuss this or any ideas you have on making the documentation better please email me or find me in the #thrift irc channel
