Minimalist documentation facilitates casual learning and focus on immediate progress instead of true understanding. People learn and retain better if they process information deeply. The tutorial has served Ubiquity well in that it weeds out users whom would be unable to handle the difficulty of such a situation and only people who know how to work Ubiquity wander into the IRC channel and mailing list.
