Kooen's cheeky point is worth keeping in mind though; the Yocto naming semantics is not very helpful ;-) Specifically most of the questions being asked on the Yocto list are about Poky, not Yocto, followed by questions about meta-yocto, not Yocto-project. Many of the questions being asked on the list are readily answered by googling for 'Poky Manual', but clearly very few people understand the Yocto project semantics enough to do this ...
