No, the link is here if people want to use it.
IMHO jwm doesn't need documentation -- point 
and click, no problem.

How so?  Both open the menu with right-click or
via the action-box in the lower left corner
(just like MS-Windows).  Both open up submenus
by clicking on a menu item (just like MS-Windows).
Both define the menu via a text file (editable 
from the menu).  Actually it could be argued that 
icewm is less intuitive than jwm because icewm has 
many complicated configuration files while jwm has 
just one comprehensive file.

Yes, I know you prefer to use the keyboard rather
than the mouse, but you are in a small minority.
Most users (including myself) use the mouse and
find jwm very intuitive.    

Cheers,
