Well, as you noticed, it is a Drupal site. The purpose of my spending
the effort to migrate the site was to allow any member of the
community to edit the pages and structure as they saw necessary.

I agree that overall the documentation is fairly obscure and the
entire site can probably be reworked and smoothed. More simple
introdution and examples up front - with deep-links for formal
definitions and clarification.

Again, 'anyone' is free to do this. I especially like #3 - if every
person that reads this email adds an example that they feel
illustrates an important point(s) that would go a long way to aiding
in understanding and questions.
