As someone who has gained experience with Open WebUI and identified common pain points for users, I'd like to compile a list of areas where additional documentation would greatly benefit the community.

My hope is that by sharing this list, I can encourage the Open WebUI community to contribute their knowledge and expertise to help create comprehensive and user-friendly documentation.
