Besides, the word is "paid".
That what I mentioned. Also, another correction: developers are not "opposing" but less interested (in comparison with the demand from end-users :-) > But, it seems to me that at some point the developers are going to be so > buried in this that the only way to save your sanity is to write some docs > that at least specify how its done for the rapidly proliferating chip > selections that the chip people have succeeded in actually making a racket > with that passes for sound in most circles.

Well, in your argument it's not clear what level of documentation is urgently needed. Actually, the difficulty in writing a document for end-users is to know what they don't/need to know -- or a definition of "end-users". We may need a tecnical reference for the developers, while we may need a guidebook for novice users, or Gospels for ex-window users. My mother cannot use a video recorder unless someone tells her how to use it. But it's bundled with a good technical reference for all information. Maybe we should start from FAQ, then someone can compile it as a real tutorial (if needed)...
