Heh--well, since I've written my own page on it, it's gotten better. RH didn't help by making some undocumented changes, but once again, the CentOS folks got it documented.
I did have some notes, but dunno if I ever emailed 'em to myself from my job in '06, but though it took me about a month, I managed to get it up, with the help of a dozen or so links, after wading through dozens of links, and lots of folks begging for help (and not getting any), and *way* outdated stuff....
That's basically what I did--wrote up my notes and put up the page that I wished I'd had when first trying to wrap my head around it. Like many opensource things, it's not as hard as it seems, once you realize how it's done.
(Although the part about LDAP documentation is not trolling, I think it's pretty much an accepted thing. The Active Directory part was, of course, a troll.)
And their utterly inadequate tools.
LDAP's, or AD's? Our Windows admin teaches mixed martial arts as a sideline, so I don't argue too much with him. :)
All kidding aside, to the OP, though it's not a cool thing--it's one of the crummy things in many cases--finding docs to supplement the often inadequate official documentation is pretty durn important.
