1. It would be really helpful to have the equivalent of "hello world". A
   step by step:
     . Create directory x here.
     . in directory x create file y
     . create directory y
     . etc.

2. Document the purpose of every configuration file.

3. Document every attribute of every configuration file. For example:
     . fetch_cmd - what is it, is it required, why is it required.
     . runlist - same questions plus, it has "list" in its name so
                 how do i specify a list?

4. Show an example (hello world) on how to run the tests locally without
   needing to do provisioning.

5. Don't use terms/adjectives like "Cool" (it just doesn't sound professional)

These all seem like "obvious" things to document.
