The CLI guide reads quite well! Great work whoever put it together! :) Just occurred to me that for 3.0 -> 3.1, we can probably just write a single "CLI" upgrade guide instead of writing one for each platform (might need caveats per-platform still).
Should we document how to create plugman-only projects as well as CLI projects? If so, we'll need a good top-level explainer page that explains the difference. If not, then I don't think we should mention it in our readme. I'm hoping that we can document only the CLI flow so that there will be less diversity in project structures out there, and it will let us focus on doing one thing well.
