Michael,

If my memory is correct, at one point there was a plan to have both an
operations guide which would cover the how-to-use aspects of Rivendell
(after a successful install) and a technical guide, covering stuff that
a technical / administrator would need to know.

The technical guide never existed much beyond an outline of things to
include in it and over time those topics mostly ended up in the
operations guide and the Wiki.  As a result the contents of what would
have been the technical guide got merged in with the operations guide.  

There are still some references to a technical guide from a time when
there was an intent to have 2 manuals.
