Ulrike,

that's great, a lot of blood sweat and tears went into it (and some 
people can tell you :-) )

any identification of such parts you feel unsure about would be helpful 
I guess. Might be difficult to articulate, but please try.

Joseph is making quite some effort to improve on the overall 
documentation but we are well aware that documentation of certain 
general concepts is effectively missing or bad and I'm sure some 
concepts we take for granted (having worked with it for quite a while) 
may not at all be obvious to new users

thanks
