Hi Russ, I don't understand why there is a desire for others to document CF. Surely it's better to have a single authoritative source? Do they mean that they want evidence that others are writing about CF, in the sense that they are using it? One could argue that this entire list is involved in documenting CF, not just the primary authors.
On the deletion page, this statement is patently false: > A web search reveals that few people care about this subject besides the ones > developing it. Lots of people care about CF, even if they don't know it, because their tools would not interpret data correctly. It can be demonstrated that CF is in wide use (see Steve Hankin's GODAE poster for instance).
