I takes a long time and a lot of work to write decent documentation: once again, thanks Johan and Ben.
There is nothing to prevent others from writing extra tutorials, blog posts or whatever, showing how to build cool stuff using Spec. You can refer to the base documentation and then get going. We really need stuff like that, written by non-core developers, possibly taken other approaches to the subject. Please contribute, you will be amazed at how much you will learn while doing so.
