That really isn't fair. It's a chicken and the egg problem in that the only way someone outside could write documentation is if someone inside gives them some rudimentary documentation first. After all, by your reasoning anyone skilled enough to read the source should be adding features and fixing bugs so apparently that route to knowledge is out. Outside help can clean up documentation, enhance documentation, take manpage level documentation and write detailed howtos for mortal users to follow. If they have some help from the developers they can even update documentation to track changes. Waiting for someone to appear and present documentation from scratch for a system that nobody outside the development team has knowledge of is asking for a miracle. -- John M. http://www.beau.org/~jmorris This post is 100% M$Free!
