Don't get me wrong, OB is a very nice WM. My point was not that there is
too little information. It's more like I suffer from information
overload. I'd be more interested in how the features can work together
than just seeing a list of every single little thing OB can do.

I understand there's a certain audience that would look for a
light-weight GTK WM, but I'm still only human. As a human, I'd rather
read a manual, not an IEEE spec.
