The manual is by far the most comprehensive and organized, though one
might argue that the Wiki might rival it in some areas. The problem with
the wiki is that it is rather haphazard. You can't beat the wiki for
esoteric topics.

After the release of the official manual, we made an effort to
incorporate some of its information in the online manual, which in
general should be more up to date. There is some need of improvement in
the online manual for 1.5.x, especially in regard to screenshots. There
are also features still in a state of flux, a bit of an impediment to
adding/editing parts of it.
