Oh, I guess there is. It is just that over 90% of the examples and code I found so far doesn't seem to work with the current version. And the key documents are outdated, and code does not really make it clear how to do things, or rather where to start. The key entry points - the executables to which everything refers - no longer exist. The document points to a non existing import.py, which should define the structure, etc. After hitting a few cases like this, it gets difficult to trust any instruction or code I come across. It would be better to have no documentation at all than having a misleading one, to be honest.
