And yes, it is often the main developer says "I don't have time to look at this, but what's going on here is this... and take a look here..." and thus gives me the ability to start somewhere useful instead of starting at the top and trying to learn the code base en total. "It's an OS problem" tells me nothing. "It's a networking problem" also tells me nothing. A comment about exactly what the code is going to be doing at this point would be really useful. "It starts a subprocess to listen on 9101 for incoming connections" or .... what? Dan Langille said: > We differ in our view regarding the project. Each project handles > things in its own way.
