Phantom is working on the spec. right now, and I have posted a wiki on assets (which includes information on issuing assets, trading on the DEX, paying dividends, etc.):
https://wiki.counterparty.co/w/Assets.
The wiki on broadcasts and bets is undergoing another revision right now and will be up shortly. Between these two wikis, Counterparty's basic functionality ought to be covered.
The wikis have had to undergo several revisions in order to become more user-friendly, and any criticisms/suggestions are greatly appreciated, and, for the assets wiki, can be posted here:

Thanks, that's great to know. Once it's comprehensive enough, I'll get started on creating a guide "for dummies". I hope this will help get the community started on a bit more 'outsider interaction', because currently XCP is fragile in terms of PR.
Yeah, unfortunately this is way too complex for the average person at the moment. And I don't think WIKI and Github links are the best method for explanation for laymen, because of the marketing 'aspect' or 'flavor' that they add to the conveyed information.
Funny, to me I never thought of xcp as for the layman. We will still be trillionaires without my mother in law using it. Counterparty does need PR and
the devs have already hired someone and a good one in my opinion. Compared to my other love interest Nxt, I think counterparty is doing a superb
job. The devs aren't perfect but I sleep well at night with my XCPs all tucked in their crib next to my bed.
PS: Its not like I'm against joe schmo adoption. I just didn't think it was our market. You can't be all things to all people. But I'm not against mass
adoption if it happens. I can have
two three 24k gold underwears then.
