Actually ERP5 is not complex but is still not enough documented. We have now 
about 200 pages of documentation but we think 2000 pages would be required 
to teach everything. Since it is impossible to produce at this stage, we 
will first concentrate on documenting core features of ERP5 and extending 
the documenting towards more advanced features whenever time or resources 
permit.

One of our goals in 2006 is to make a few core business templates easy to 
use and documented.
