No, absolutely not.
We have a useful FAQ and some useful tutorial documents. For example,
Moshe Zadka's "finger" tutorial (while not perfect) is an excellent
example of how to use Twisted, and its multi-layered approach:
http://twistedmatrix.com/projects/core/documentation/howto/tutorial/index.html
This is the first google hit for "twisted tutorial".
The first google hit for "writing servers", by the way:
http://twistedmatrix.com/projects/core/documentation/howto/servers.html
is a great low-level introduction to Twisted's core concepts.
Of course, like any large project, the documentation for different parts
of Twisted is going to vary a lot. But it would be a gross
overstatement to say there's no documentation or that it's completely
useless.
