Simon, I think that would be an excellent idea, perhaps in the how things are done section you could have use an example web service. Showing how from install things get done, and the configuration of a few of the basic packages, like bboard and news and their integration with the main site using the template system.
I have been working on install docs for a win2k/oracle instance which is mostly a remix of Vinod's existing procedures and when I have tidied it up a bit I will send it the relevant honchos.
