It reminds me of 'What comes first, the chicken or the egg?'
How can I write a manual if I don't know how to use it?
Is there not even a manual as a plain text file?
You are absolutely right, we need a documentation.
But that is a widely spread problem in open source software.
Always remember, we are all doing it only in our spare time.
Everybody may not only consume but be part of contributing to the project.
This could be done, by programming features, by writing docs, by doing advertisment, etc.
I have not wrote ChurchRota on my own, in accordance with the original author, I took over that project and changed/added functionality. When I started, I was in your position.
ChurchRota is not that complex, in fact, I consider it as intuitive. So, just try to work with it in a testing scenario and you will find out how it works.
I am sorry, not to have any piece of documentation, but the install instructions.
When you are learning how it works, write it down.
In that ways others can benefit from it
and that is how documentation could be started.

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
There is none existing right now.
But you are invited to join the project and help writing one.

How about adding a few pages to the sourceforge wiki?
