If I can use a quote from Bernie as a lead in...

"What's troubling me now, is the amount of time it takes me to get
stuff to work due to the difficulty of finding things in the docs."

Something we need is a way for people to tell RT "what's hard", kind
of like the "wanted" list the cookbook has. Unfortunately, I think the
cookbook has entries for a lot of those requests, but they haven't
been marked as done. Also, a lot of them are things that come up
periodically, so the answers *are* out there. Anyway, RT's goal for
the co-op project is to allow this kind of thing, so people outside RT
can request and submit content. That, by itself, won't solve the
problem, IMO, because I don't think our problems today fall into two
categories: 1) the docs don't exist 2) it exists, but we can't find
it. I think #2 is the much bigger issue. If so, the problem we
*really* need to solve is the organization and search capability.

In the meantime, if you have *specific* examples of things that have
frustrated you, for whatever reason, post them here with a [docs] tag
of some kind in the subject (maybe [docs//needed] ?), set up a group
on AltMe, or mail them to me (that's a last resort as I tend to...
what was I saying?). Some of us have forgotten how non-obvious certain
things are because they seem obvious in hindsight.

You should never spend too much time banging your head against the
wall with REBOL; the community here is a big part of what REBOL is.
Just type "[need-help] <subject>". :)
