Hi Matthias,

you're right, current doc is not really for users. Part of the reason is 
that I'd like user docs to be where users would expect it. Which is 
I-don't-know-where.

Would you be so kind as to give me some hints what you're missing, how 
long it took you to tweak the settings to your taste, unexpected things etc?

Cheers,

Simon
