Read the fine manuals, the FAQ, and source, it's all the documentation you need.
I respectfully disagree with you. I think that the previous poster (thirdm) got it right. There is a place for man pages, for FAQ but there is also a need for another edition of Absolute OpenBSD book. I have first edition of that book and even though I read it probably have dozen of times I always keep it close much like The Book of PF(2nd edition), Secure Architectures with OpenBSD and Building Firewalls with OpenBSD and PF (2nd edition). The information might be slightly outdated but it gives you bird eye view on the whole system and puts the thing into the context.

I do not consider myself lazy and timid OpenBSD user. I do not shy even from reading source code but I would be buying another edition of Absolute OpenBSD.
