I've regenerated the Rat subsite with the beginnings of some content for
core[1]. Feedback welcomed :-)
One of the problems posed by improving the documentation is that Rat
core really needs a good refactor into a much simpler and conventional
design. This would probably mean adding more integration tests before
starting.
There a balance that needs to be struck between better documentation
about the current mess, and moving towards a more reasonable design.
Opinions? Suggestions?

We're there.
I've update a few Maven plugins to fix a few problems with the build.

For now the documentation for Rat core is good enough. At least it is
about Rat core now :)
Going forward we can improve the docs as needed if/when a refactoring
takes place.
