Yes, that was the whole vision behind BoltWire. And you are right, good documentation is the key. > I think now the docs are more important than adding (or removing!) > features.

Of course development has slowed significantly over the last month or two, largely focused on very minor enhancements, bug fixes and the like. I have no plans for any major new features. And if we do, would be inclined to put in a 3.xx beta release or something. Not only the docs but also snippets and plugins--many of which are outdated. > Maybe we could think about the hierarchy and notation to organize the > docs, to make sure nothing is duplicated or in the wrong section. > Maybe there's a way to automate the whole thing a bit, I don't know > how. I'll post something along these lines later today or when I can--for feedback. I have some interesting ideas.
