it's developer-oriented. Ordinary _users_ of the software don't care about modules; for them it's better to organized things by functional category (or more generally, according to the mental model the user is likely to have of how a web server functions).

I'd disagree with that.

Looking at the documentation for other webservers, such as apache , everything is presented in terms of modules.

Yep but some of them have a Tutorial/Howto/what ever for the "complete" overview ;-)

I think this would be very nice if we have it for nginx and not only for some module developer, imho.

I have started such a think but you know work and some other stuff wanted also be handled >;-)

It might make sense to have an overview or tutorial as a general nginx man page, describing what features are in each of the core distribution modules , but many of the nginx commands exist only if specific modules were compiled into the system or not.

I think a "step by step"/Userguide/... would be helpful for the most beginners and some mature Sysadmins 8-)
