I think that some bugs always happen and don't matter at first that much
anyway. What I perceive as far more important that new AND old features too
are properly documented with description allowing the use for many in the
EMC2_User_Manual.pdf - it still lacks many chapters or there are numerous
links marked with simply ?? - so please make sure you document your work
there and update the info when something changes. I for example base all my
assumptions on that document :)
