Yes, such a doc would takes months to write, but it's planned. Each metric is the implementation of a well-known paper. You'll find the reference at the bottom of each metric report, or directly on our wiki:

https://wiki.gephi.org/index.php/Category:Measure

Please add examples to Wiki and the meaning of each metric.
Remember, the diffrence between good and bad software is a well documented with a lot of examples.

I'm From Israeli Police force and i'd like to use Gephi with our special needs' do you have any Israel specialist that can help me?

I know many bad softwares well documented.

Almost all implemented metrics in Gephi are classic metrics used in social network analysis since 30 years. They even have their Wikipedia pages. What you need is an introduction to network analysis, and we don't provide it.

However you'll find courses on the Web like this excellent one: https://open.umich.edu/education/si/si508/fall2008
The teacher, Lada Adamic, will start an online class to teach network analysis with R and Gephi this September: https://www.coursera.org/course/sna
