I think not.

I think it could use a 'broad stroke' overview to
advise people what basic activities they'll do while 
building Test Plans and what a few basic rules are,
though.  It's not obvious when 
you do your first Test Plans what components are allowed
in what other components, nor what the impact of 
different placement is.

Also, people may be overlooking the treasure buried in
'Component Reference' and 'Functions' sections.  Some
users don't look very far before hitting the list.

Also - here's a nitpick that reduces usability.
The doc seems to have hard line returns such that
when I resize the browser width the text does NOT
reflow.  The JMeter doc. window has to be kept
really wide.  Is that intentional?

Thanks for an extremely valuable tool.
