Well, the graph was not totally done.  Also, I was trying to think of  
categories as opposed to specifics, but I kind of mixed that up in my  
diagram.   In the end I decided that it was hard to come up with  
categories, which was why I started putting specific content into it.

But yes, we need a lot more feedback (and forethought) about what  
real developer documentation would look like.
