Yea, obviously, i do get lost in GIT at times. :D

Yes, i understand this. Yet, i didn't find get not setup that
difficult either. Well, i think, 'you' are thinking of it to be 'very'
perfect. It doesn't have to be, however if people get into trouble
with the inconsistent documents  they will surely come here to the ML.

Being frank, there is no issue without having such a document, as the
audience of this framework wouldn't be that 'dump' to try it out and
hack them. So, you don't have to focus on a complete newbie.
