Rift: Attributes and Attribute Tables

Here are the main attributes and how they apply to various classes.

Zam has started to compile a list of attributes, including the command to view them, with a description of what each attribute is and the points assigned to them.

Rift: Customizing Your UI and Controls UPDATED

The online Rift manual has a section about the UI (pp. 12-24) that explains your action bars, the various panels (character, guild, raid panels, etc.) and more.
http://www.riftgame.com/en/docs/RIFT_Manual_EN.pdf

However, the best overall UI explanation I've found is on This Is Not A Rift's website as it covers clearly how to customize your UI.

This article covers camera controls, movement, interacting with objects, describes the maps, and goes into great detail about various  combat actions that are exclusive to various classes.

RiftLift.com is a site dedicated to customized UIs in the game.
http://riftlift.com/

They will allow folks registered on their site to submit their UIs to the site so others (you may have to register to download but this is not clear) can download it to a character. I believe Rift makes it easy to copy the UI you have set up for one character to your other characters.

UPDATE:  Rift Junkies has posted a critique of the game interface.

Rift: Key Bindings UPDATED

The Rift online manual's very last page has keyboard key bindings for all the commands.

Hilarious mock key binding.
