Tor has always been very lax at documentation--both creation and updating. I've never seen a thorough site map or directory published. I think this discourages folks who would like to start a tor relay.
Mmm. I'm a stupid hobby admin with no IT background. Tor entry servers were the first thing I set up on rented servers in the data center. The TorRelayGuide on Torproject.org was easy for me. https://community.torproject.org/relay/ Debian's sample torrc has always been well documented.
And micahflee's tor-relay-bootstrap script is forked a dozen times. A relay can be set up in just a few minutes.
The biggest problem is to find a provider where you can rent cheap unmetered servers and who allow exit's to operate. In addition, the provider should ideally be far away from DE-CIX Frankfurt and no or few other Tor servers there.
And don't forget the Tor Project is a Community Project. Everyone can edit the Torproject.org Doku. ;-)
I can always recommend these pages to beginners: https://tor-relay.co/ https://www.torservers.net/wiki/guides
