PPR Documentation

The State of the Official Documentation

Unfortunately, what with writing the code and my system administration duties, I have had little time to write documentation. Despite that, I am managing to at least keep the man pages up to date. However, more HOWTO-style documentation would be helpful. Contributions would be welcome!
