If I had to take manual steps to install it, I would have seriously  
wondered about its maturity (e.g. if it hasn't solved the problem of  
making releases it must not be far along) and would have given up and  
looked elsewhere, and consequently never found out if the docs were  
any good. (For the record, I think they're mediocre at best without  
the wiki, but the wxPython demo more than makes up for that.)

Just my two cents, but I think people could get pretty far with Dabo  
without needing docs based on the screencasts I've seen. At least far  
enough to know whether or not it's good enough to stick with.

Regards,

Kevin
