I think we are lucky to have powerful, useful software like MapServer
available to us at no cost.  The developers put a lot of work into the
code, and probably don't have much time left over for writing
documentation.  Any of us are welcome to contribute to the docs, though.
  I'm sure the developers would be thrilled to have more help.  Take a
look at http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/mdp/mdp.html if you're interested
in helping.
