+1 to the idea of a super-minimal configset. Perhaps minimal comments could include carefully chosen pointers into the relevant sections of the Solr Ref Guide so that the transition from "a few lines of easily understood config" to "fully comprehensive reference manual" is less daunting?

What I particularly like about your bare-bones schema is that it shows how much is _unnecessary_ in the "kitchen sink" version. I strongly suspect that people are afraid to take anything out for fear that it'll break something else and this schema shows how little is absolutely necessary.
