Documentation is on the way in the form of an Administrators Guide ...
long promised but we are now adding the final touches to the text.

The book will be open source and the text will also appear on the EMBOSS
website.

As to the scripts ... yes, and excellent suggestion. We could make a
directory adminscripts in the distribution for these.

Please contribute useful scripts for use to include. We would like to
include some documentation on what the script is intended to do and how
to modify it. As the target users are administrators, we can expect them
to be able to make their own modifications.
