Consolidated Documentation

An actual wiki or just a consolidated settings guide is needed. The anemic tutorials from years ago on the site and forum are not sufficient to understand Simplify for a new user and even veteran users. A great example is scripting. The best resource I have found to explain how they work and examples are these two forum posts.

You can see that no simplify employees show up in the first page of posts on the first and none at any point in the second. It is incredibly frustrating to have tools like this that are a complete black box in simplify. This is made worse by the fact that other popular slicers such as Cura, Prusa, and the original Slic3r have tons of documentation within the program itself. I get that simplify is closed source and was cutting edge six or seven years ago and that documentation may have given competitors an advantage in catching up, but with every other slicer surpassing simplify in nearly all aspects sans a few niche uses it is no longer an acceptable situation. If I'm just missing some large repository of documentation for simplify please link it, if not please consider this post further.
