I think a setup guide/simple example would greatly help out. In fact, even though I maintain and work on a couple different turbine projects everyday, I've never actually set one up from scratch. They were all set-up before my time. I have worked for a company using Struts, and I am currently supporting another project in DJango, and I can definitely say I prefer Turbine to either of them.
