Hi Sarah, and others who share the quoted sentiment.

Well, it's not a demand. I want Rev to succeed, and I think better 
and more extensive documentation will help them do that. It could be 
critically important, though that's just an educated guess.

I don't mean to suggest that the reference guide should be a 
tutorial. I mean to suggest that it should be an adequate reference 
guide, at minimum, and preferably an excellent reference guide.

You're right about not making it overly complicated. The first few 
approximations on the way to adequate would only require 
supplementation of the existing reference format. That might be all 
that is necessary for excellent.

Best regards,


Tim
