I totally understand you have other things to do and I think it's obvious you've done more than enough already. Maybe if I bribe you for it...?? ... come on Skwasjer PM me your price hehe...
Hopefully someone else here will work on some explanations. the only thing I can do right now is to comment on the (TUT) thread after going through it so maybe someone can complete what is left blank there.
Think about it guys, you need more brains/hands to get your super mods out? You need some over-enthousiastic wannabes like me. Below is what I found in this thread about starting to write this bible. I'm posting it again as a refresh for the suscribed:

How about a controller table, where each controller is briefly explained? Not so much each and every property, but just a quick reference guide.
I want to also do some walkthroughs of the UI, but I think this is best done as a video tut, like I've done in the past. Seeing certain actions and tricks done in a video says more than a written tutorial, and it tends to stay longer in memory.
And along the line, some more advanced tuts, like working with keyframe animations (specifically quats is a black box to 99% around here I guess), mesh anims, etc.(...)
