Unfortunately, you don't understand the problem which is why this thread 
is happening on -general and not -hackers. The problem is simple as 
illustrated, our user documentation is less than stellar for those 
trying to solve specific problems. This isn't a new problem nor is it 
one that is not communicated. I hear the issue from users ever single 
time I speak or attend a conference/meetup.

I was hoping to get the -general community to step and build some 
recipes and howto articles without at the same time dictating the 
solution. That's a good thing because a non-dictated solution is likely 
to have more strength.

The wiki is a terrible choice but if that is where the community thinks 
it should go, I welcome people starting to contribute in a structured 
fashion to the wiki. I hope it works out well.
