The documentation is getting bit-rotted outside of new specs of features being 
implemented. I had hoped we'd get more community contributions by splitting the 
docs out the of the codebase, but that hasn't happened. At this point i'm hoping 
to take have the team work on the docs at the end of the cycle b4 the final 
release. Some documentation cleanup days before then do sound good.
