Respectfully disagree. Sometimes the documentation is so bad that you have more questions than answers and even then, what they provide still doesn't really explain how to do something with enough details. It's all literally shot in the dark and you're just left with leap of faith. * cough * Sonicwall * cough *

Last week I spent a day trying to figure out why the thing in the damn documentation doesn't work.

Turns out, for that project "latest" doesn't point to their latest release, but to what they currently have on their dev branch. And apparently they changed the whole module around since the last release.
