Although there are a lot of docs inside and outside the wiki, I'm not
aware of any addressing your questions, except maybe for some info in
the deployment and users guide PDFs.  This is a good example of the

Good to know you made it :-)  But I think there are also a lot of
newcomers who find the initial hassle too much, and quickly leave :-/
