+ The documentation is very extensive and contains a wealth of information.
+ It explains at great length how to set up MPlayer and tune it for optimal
+ speed and generally make the most of it. As usual we have an
+ <a href="../../DOCS/HTML/en/faq.html">FAQ</a> that should answer most
+ basic questions. You can also
+ <a href="http://www.mplayerhq.hu/cgi-bin/s-docs.cgi?sbm=en">search</a>
+ the documentation. The more technical and/or development aspects are
+ described in the <a href="../../DOCS/tech/">tech section</a>.
+</p>
+
+<p>We are continuously improving and extending the documentation. If you
+ find ommissions, errors or inaccuracies in the documentation, please tell
+ us on the
+ <a href="http://mplayerhq.hu/mailman/listinfo/mplayer-DOCS">mplayer-DOCS</a>
+ mailing list. If the documentation is not (yet) available in your language
