The documentation in the developer's corner is for the upcoming version
7.1, mostly for the benefit of developers that don't want to build it
themselves, whereas the one in the user's lounge are for the released
version 7.0 and earlier releases. The reason that they are mostly the
same is that the product they're describing is mostly the same. The
reason they are more complete is that people have taken the time to work
on them since 7.0 was released. And there is a link from the user's
lounge to the current development docs.
