I have to agree here. There's nobody better to explain how something really works than the person who wrote it. The rest of us are just fumbling around guessing.
As a dev and a creative person, I understand the desire to get something out there. But documentation and tutorials aren't just something that's nice to have. They are your marketing tool, your adoption driver, and the way to create educated advocates for your project. They are as valuable to your project's success as a splashy "getting started" web site is.
