While I admit that there is not yet enough documentation material or at least probably not in a single place I disagree with some complaints. The Lift book for example describes in quite detail that request processing lifecycle, disspath functions, rendering pipeline, LiftRules, S, SHtml, LiftResponse-s, binds, JavaScript abstraction and many others etc. Sure new things came up in the mean time and we're trying to document them as time permits in many cases.
About the Lift structure being too messy, what do you actually mean? AFAIK historically, people (a many newbies) asserted the contrary that they really liked the Lift concepts, the ease of use and understand how it works. For naming conventions there was a project opened and even discussed on this public list about renaming API's but AFAIK there was not a whole lot of feedback on this list so unless I'm wrong, the decision was to do ad-hoc renaming as we work on various things. This may mean deprecation of old names so there will be a smooth transition to "better" names. So I believe it is much more constructive for ALL of us to ask concrete questions, described concrete problems and let's see how we can fix it. Many things though may be subjective and leading to endless discussions without substance.
