No! It is not such a strange point of view! 
It is the next step to learn MiniVend.

Sorry! 
What I mean is a list of _MiniVend_-URL to FAQ, docu, etc. for starters.

I couldn't find a right English word, what I mean is a very little short
summary of informations for starters, where FAQ, docu and (very
important) mail archivs _is_. In the german perl news group for example,
I get an summary email monthly. In this email, there are a short hints
for starters and this email point the starters to the right place (docu,
FAQ, etc.). Make this clear?
