I'm looking at the default installation of Sitellite. I like the paged nature of the CMS very much. It makes a lot of sense to me.

I can add a new page no problem. It even appears in the Main Menu. Cool. I even sort of kind of understand how the Main Menu alias "/sitilite/nav/top" value makes it appear there.

However.

I'm a smart guy, but there are some things that are beyond my understanding after playing with this for about three hours.

Note that I don't expect clarificaton of my confusion, I'm just letting you know how freaking confusing Sitellite is with no current DOCUMENTATION.

This is the thing that really pisses me off: I'm browsing the exisiting web pages in the control panel, and I see some pages that have the same settings as ones that appear in the Main Menu bloc, but for the life of me, I cannot figure out how to actually display them in the browser. The "Hello World" and "New Page" pages are cases in point. Can't get at them with the expected url, and they don't appear in the Main Menu block as you'd thing they would.

I think I sort of understand the "Examples" content, that just seems to appears from nowhere. The Examples page uses an xt-box element, and I think the lists are rendered by the php code in the list item, but it's hard to tell without a LOT of mental effort and without DOCUMENTATION.

I think the package has a lot of potential, but whew, the default SCM example site needs a lot more work at explaning what's going on if you want people to actually use it.

(I'm not sure how high a priority this is for you, but I think it would be easy to get people people to start contributing, as, for example, the Mambo project has done a good job of encouraging. If you had current DOCUMENTATION.)

Please take this in the spirit in which it was intended, friendly feedback.

I'm going to keep Sitellite on my test server for a while and play a bit, but I'm really looking forward to some DOCUMENTATION.
