Is there any user guide or admin guide of WWF?

I would love to have one user/admin guide.

Does anyone know if it has been completed by anyone else? Or is it on the to do list in a future release?

This guide can be very handy both for the webmasters who installs and administers WWF and users of WWF. Also if users have a user guide they will quickly know what they can do by clicking where on the forum.

I propose for five guides. 
Installation Guide
Administrator Guide
Moderator Guide
User Guide
Skin Guide

And a bit more detailed:
This could be wiki based and also a downloadable pdf/doc
Every guide will have three versions - Access, MSSQL and My SQL.
Also there could be instructions on installing WWF on IIS7.

I think some specs should be defined. Here is my suggestion:

1. Installation Guide
I think this is currently covered. But including Active Directory integration instructions will be more useful.

2. Administrator Guide
This guide can include a full description of all the features of WWF and steps to be taken to enable/disable or use the features. This guide should also include what is the diffrence between main Administrator and other admins/moderators

Say, with the calendar system, we need to know how we can enable/disable the system. What are the side effects that may impact on the entire WWF system and the server if we enable it or disable it. What we can get by enabling it, how we can use it. Like how we can create an event, record birthdays, how the event is shared amongst other users etc.

What is the significance of email subscriptions, how to enable/disable/use it.

This admin guide should also include but not limited to what are permissions, how we can set them. What can be the result by modifying default permissions or specific permission parameters. May also include description of different scenarios where permissions were modified to achieve a purpose and some result out came.

I think you got the scenario

3. Moderator Guide
Based on the default permissions what a mod can do and what can't.

4. User Guide
They are someone we all care so much. It is better if they can take a glance without experimenting with different links and sections of WWF by clicking. They need it easy.

5. Skin Guide
This guide will come handy for skinners of WWF with all level of experience detailing the CSS of WWF.

If you are interested in having this guide and/or creating it, please comment on. We can only have it from Bruce if we want it.
