Lack of documentation

Dear Jens,

this really is a shame, but not on you.

The lack of a complete (or at least more complete than now)
documentation puts some restrictions to the jurabib-package. Besides
the official documentation, one has to search the forum and google and
doesnt even know the exact expression to look for -- and that for just
one package. For me, this really bugs me every time I want something I
cannot solve with the doc alone.

On the other hand, crying out loud "Jens, do it, do it now, this
situation sucks!" doesnt help, since without you there would be no
jurabib and it would not really be appropriate for open source-principles.

I think by now there must a be a lot of expertise -- just not
gathered, but isolated at (almost) every user of jurabib. How about
bringing them together, as a collaborativ (is that spelled right?)
writing, e.g. in a wiki? This would split the work into very small
pieces and could thus be more popular. 

Just some thoughts.
Chris
