I agree 200% with Bryan - at the moment we have an XS build that is
moving quickly (or rather, that is starting to move quickly ;-) ). It
is hard to document such a moving target, specially for beginners.

The path I think Bryan is taking is very smart for the current
situation - aim for decent Linux know-how, and then give them pointers
to the XS specifics (in the wiki).

As we approach 1.0 it will make more sense to have an XS beginners
guide. Hopefully, it will be an easier job too, as things will stop
moving so much ;-)

cheers,



martin
