I already provide documentation with commands in example config files and man 
pages that cover nearly every aspect on OpenRC and all it's commands.

The nice thing about not being a Gentoo dev means I don't feel the urge to 
write a migration how to. However, here's a really good primer.

1) Install OpenRC
2) Review all updated files in /etc/conf.d/ and /etc/rc.conf [1] [2]
3) If using a "volume" such as LVM, you'll find an appropriate init script 
in /etc/init.d that you need to add to the boot runlevel.
4) Carry on as normal [3]

Thanks

Roy

[1] The case of variable names has been changed from UPPER to lower. This is 
for a few reasons (removes confusion vs environment vars, looks nicer). 
However, *existing* UPPER case vars should still work.
[2] Paludis users will need to ensure that the init scripts checkfs and 
checkroot are removed. I don't care whose "bug" this is, but neither side 
wants to fix it.
[3] A reboot is currently needed as for some reason state data isn't migrated 
from baselayout-1. This is probably due to OpenRC being split from baselayout 
and the code is pretty much the same here. Maybe some plucky Gentoo ebuild 
dev can step up and fix it.
