Not now, but when i started monitoring squid with mrtg, I was
disappointed about documentation too and so I monitor only five values.
My Suggestion:
Next week I have some vacation and I will set up some webpages where
anybody can comment the values defined in the mib.txt. I will announce
this in the Mailinglist later.
