in thread Open sourcing perlmonks

First off, intuitive is all in the eye of the beholder. Which is what I was saying about my perl project at work.

Second, when I first wanted to do the vote patch, it did take me a few days to figure my way around things. If there was a document like this to explain even just the PmDev Nodelet, it would have been nice to have:

#xxxxxx
Node number being used to display the current document.
= <node type>
Type of document the above node is see this to see an explanation of all the node types.
via <blah>
I'm not sure what this is... here is a document that explains the different types
Dump Fields
Dumps the fields - you can only dump all the data about the current node if you have certain authorities which are ...
...
...
Everything Bible
Mandatory reading - too bad it's too new for the level of Everything we're using here.
...
...
And, of course, there'd be an extra entry - "PmDev Help" - that would point to this doc. But, really, what I was referring to that I thought was not intuitive is just following around all the code. On one hand, it's great - it's hugely modular. On the other hand, a web browser is not the most conducive method for reading/writing code that is spread out all over the place ;-)

    You'll see a new link in the pmdev nodelet to the pmdev howto wiki. Please add or update whatever you think is relevent. Ive done a first go at explaining the pmdev nodelet itself, maybe you could add whatever you think is relevent.
