Simple projects are not the problem. The plugin interface lacks
documentation.
Well I would like to know what "simple things" Jon could not do then.
Wikis are nice but not are no substitute for real documentation. The
designers of ocamlbuild should once take the time to thoroughly explain
and document the philosophy and workings of ocamlbuild; how does it
work, what is the right way to do thing, what is the wrong way to do
things, how do I achieve this etc.
So far every program of the caml toolchain had sufficiently clear
documentation in ocaml's manual. With respect to that ocamlbuild is an
unwelcomed precedent.
Is it just a matter of copy/pasting the contents of the wiki into the
OCaml manual? Or does the wiki really lacks important information? As
far as I can tell it does answer a lot of the questions you highlighted.
