and that's the problem - you would use a lot more options/functions if 
you would know that they existed - even when you already searched for 
them and didn't find the proper one. TYPO3 has such a lot nice and 
useful features, but the documentation or references are way to huge and 
hard to read (or even incomplete) - so the configuration must become a 
lot more selfexplaining and easier to handle. Maybe by tagging 
functions, grouping them by usecases or whatever. Some is probably 
available somewhere, but the average user doesn't know.
Sometimes you simply don't find the right option because you don't know 
what to search for - so tagging or whatever might be useful, or a search 
function in the refs.

Think about the following:
You would like to alter the rendering of a selectbox in BE-forms, but 
where to start looking? Wouldn't it be nice if you could go to a page 
called 'configuration guide' on TYPO3.org.

- select the main branch 'appearance' of the guide (appearance,rights,...)
- then select 'backend'
- then 'forms'
- then 'selectboxes'
- and read how to add or remove entries in selectboxes or how to change 
the labels
- oh, what is this - some user comments with usecases?
- hmm, related configuration options? Ah, nice.

You get the point.
