The documentation itself is some of the best in the business, but as you 
point out, finding what you need is sometimes difficult because of the 
sheer volume of content. The docs are being reworked for the next 
version of Rev. The content, which is excellent, will remain largely the 
same except for bug fixes, but the organization and searching 
capabilites will change. You may want to wait until Rev 2.3 is released 
and see what you think.
