A good place to start is that any time we get asked a question about how
something works, the answer should get copied into the source or
documentation.
Mostly I'm just asking contributors to think about documentation and clarity
when they write stuff, and to point out when things aren't sufficiently
clear.

The distinction I'd draw is that the bootstrap is the portion we do not
expect to change between MUDs, and that the config module is the portion
we do expect to change.
They're in different modules partly because we can separate them without
undue cost. That makes it easier to look at one module or the other and
figure out what it's doing.
The other reason to separate them is to make reconfiguration easier.
What should someone do to configure a different collection of modules? Edit
the config module. Everything that needs to be changed should be there, and
little else.

There are lots of good demo MUDs I didn't list. The two I mentioned don't
look like they'd be graphical, distributed, persistent, or any number of
other cool things. We just need a place to start.
