A lot of people are pulling out a lot of hair over Turbine.  Turbine is a
great framework that *needs* to exist (I can find no reasonable
alternative).  Unfortunately, it is so poorly documented that many folks
simply walk away after struggling with it.

You can measure this by the number of "Hi, I'm trying to get Turbine working
but I keep getting an XXX error..." postings that come across, and the user
is never to be heard from again.

Isn't there anyone out there that can spend a little time cleaning up the
documentation for Turbine?

Right now, what Turbine needs is documentation, not new features.  If anyone
has attempted to extend the turbine schema in any way, or use Intake for
that matter.  They quickly realize that it can be an exercise in
frustration, admittedly offset somewhat by the elation you feel when you
finally figure out (after days of searching) what could have been documented
in a couple of hours.

I'm not being critical, it's just that I sympathize with Bill.

The bottom line is that I believe that Turbine should be amassing a larger
user audience than it has (based on posting volumes to this group), and I'm
not sure how much longer Turbine can survive without legitimate
documentation.  (And I really think Turbine should survive)

Sorry for the rant.
