Hi Roy,

I'm glad you were able to work this out for yourself. If you want to
be really helpful here, you could turn what you've learned into an
improvement in the docs. Old-timers (like myself) often forget what is
obvious and what is assumed knowledge, but since we are the ones
writing the docs, we sometimes forget to include a pertinent detail.
If you're new to a framework (or new to a particular area of a
framework) you're often the best person to provide feedback on
problems in the docs.

So - if you want to be really helpful, open a ticket [1] describing
the aspect of the docs that was confusing, either by ommision or as a
result of phrasing. Suggest some improved phrasing, or indicate the
detail that is missing. If you're really keen, try working up a patch
that implements your changes.
