And please, WTFV isn't enough. I don't have time to watch or search through a 40 minute video to find out how to set a few configuration options. Text is king when it comes to documentation. Videos are fine for tutorial purposes, but I need a solid reference that's well indexed and searchable.

Video is also a poor replacement for text because it is MUCH more laborious to create and update, so it probably won't be updated.

If someone were willing to make a video, writing text should be a given.
