I agree to your list of aspects that need to be improved.
It seems you really understood the "workflow" of a newbie.

Exactly.

I am not willing to do this. With all respect to the DPT but I don't
write new documentation from scratch. I am not in the position. I can
improve existing documentation as I did in the past.

But this thread is about that I am on a point where I am lost in the
current documentation and someone else with more experience and
knowledge should take over and clear the path.

Thanks,
Christian Buhtz
