Rmpi and packages building on top of it have not changed -- we simply
switched the underlying MPI library -- so use whatever documentation
you had before for Rmpi and snow.

Not that you need it unless you plan to rewrite or extend Rmpi, but
for the MPI API, the documentation for LAM is still very good.

As for the Open MPI tools, see the Open MPI website and mailing list.
Jeff just posted some instructional videos that people have commented
on favourably.
