Contact manager documentation needed [#573664]

Ok, I'm not entirely sure how this module is supposed to work, so it's hard to tell if I'm seeing bugs or it just works differently to how think.

Questions:
1. Once the mappings are set up, should editing one of the mapped fields in a Contact change the same field in a Profile? Should the opposite occur as well?
2. If a Content profile is created, is a contact automatically created for it, or vice versa?
3. if a contact exists for a person, and a user is then created for that person, do the two link automatically, or does the contact need to be edited to point to the user?

I'll have a bit more of a poke around, and come back for more. It'd be good to use this issue as a general discussion about starting and improving documentation for the module.

1. Mappings are so if you have a value in the content profile field but not in the coresponding mapped contact manager field then on node_view the system will display the value from the content profile field to the viewing party.

2. No they are seperate the only mapping is between the fields at this point.

3. Currently no automatic linking is done but it can be something that could occur in later releases. My company are building up a requirements list for the next phase of this module so if you have any requirements i can feed into that list let me know and we will see how feasible they are.
