Is it possible to include some basic info for trackbacks on this page to help noobs understand what are these good for and how to use them properly? I can not understand who is issuing a trackback and who is responsible for initial connection.

Also what are the reasons why not to include Trackback URL on main package page in section titled "more information" instead of having empty new page? t --
