p.s., I felt like I spent a bunch of time scratching my head on this stuff because I couldn't find good, clear documentation. Is there such documentation to be found somewhere, or is it just lacking at this point?
on one called Running Xen), but what really needs to happen is the Xen wiki needs to be cleaned up a lot and kept up to date. ...
Isn't this basically the skew problem with any documentation which is not integrated with a release. A secondary source necessarily lags the primary released code; a wiki, or other webpage can linger 'forever', particularly if cross-linked or mirrored
(I was unpleasantly surprised to find content that has 'rolled off' planet.centos.org, being mirrored by two seemingly separate unaffiliated third parties in a search earlier tonight -- static content that _will_ last forever, and be 'uncorrectable' - sadly it appeared in the google results before the primary source article I was seeking)
I think wiki's (websites, secondary sources in general) seem to degenerate into 'write and abandon' because the 'payback' for keeping them up to date is less than the satisfaction of moving on to new development, once the old 'itch' is satisfied.
