    As is typical with Confluence documentation, you explain how to use basic features; but there are no descriptions of what each feature is/does. For example, after reading all these topics, i really don't have a clear idea of what this plug-in can do; I'm looking for a tool where everyone on a team can log their vacations and other dates that they will be away on customer sites, and provide summary info on how many days each person is away, etc.; and all i've really got to go on is making guesses based on the procedures and scant screen shots. Another example; you explain how to subscribe to Google or Outlook calendars, but there is no info on what happens/what info you get when you subscribe. How can i decide if i want to buy this plug-in, if I really don't know what it can do?
