I also have looked at some other projects' docs. They often restrict
themselves to either a single environment or are just rather briefly
describing THEIR stuff. They don't try to teach web server
administration for dummies, like we tried.

That's why their docs are so short and simple. And because they are
short and simple, people read them.

Ours were not short and not simple and some stuff got outdated after it
was written and my impression is many people don't really read them.

Yes, I hope so, too.
