Specifically I was looking for the difference between rooms and messages. I was hoping to find it at https://secure.phabricator.com/book/phabricator/

What are you finding confusing about Conpherence? (I saw your task about creating rooms - anything else?)
Maintaining documentation is expensive, so ideally the product is intuitive enough throughout its iterations that we can avoid it as long as possible.
Conpherence in particular is still changing enough where I wouldn't want to write these docs for some time.

Gotcha. Nothing major, but I ran into a few things:
- Hard to find New Room workflow after first room
- I'm unclear of the differences between Rooms and Messages
- Some of the preferences/setting are split:
- Some (Participants, Files, Calendar, Settings) are available from the bar at the right
- Some (Title, Image, Permissions) are available from the breadcrumb at the top
- It took me at least 5 minutes to figure out how to set the picture. I kept uploading files, trying to drag them into the right-hand pane, etc.
- Its email settings are in a different place than every thing else /settings/panel/conpherence/ vs. /settings/panel/emailpreferences/ It's also unclear if the master email toggle at the top of settings/panel/emailpreferences/ applies to conpherence or not.

Most of this stuff here no longer applies and there is now more NUX and other states available. In general I think we should try not to write documentation around UX issues.
