Fedora and GNOME developers have seen the benefits of usability, so they push for better usability themselves. I don't think that documentation is seen as a critical part of developing useful software. Community documentation work is too fragmented to have a strong voice in development, and cannot point to any spectacular success in the same way that usability work has revolutionised GNOME. Short version - if we want developers to invest their time on documentation issues then documenters have to produce work that is high quality and visibly successful. -- Stuart Ellis s.ellis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
