That's what the HTCondor Manual is for! :)

We do try to have at least some description of all 700+ knobs in the 
Manual, all referenced in the index.  And we do try to have sane 
defaults for all the knobs.
But yes, while configuration enables a lot of customization, it comes at 
the cost of increased complexity.  Kind of the whole Android vs iPhone 
thing, or Linux vs Mac thing.
I think a shorter O'Reilly style HTCondor book that focuses on concepts 
and examples to accompany the huge reference-style HTCondor Manual would 
help.  But maybe that's just my bias...  I'm not sure if other folks 
take the time to read O'Reilly style books anymore...
