I also think that "hacking" documentation can be very important to a project. Some people say: You have the source code, that should be enough. It may be enough to very smart guys, and for the original authors. But it may be not enough for all. I know that writing smart, precise project documentation is hard work. And it is difficult for a larger project with many developers. Some days ago we discussed the attributes definition -- it is really bad that there is not VERY precise description about their purpose. Yesterday I mentioned the Oberon Project at ETH. They have done very less effort to document it for people outside of ETH. So development was restricted to very few diploma- or PhD-Students with inside information -- the project failed, at least in my opinion.
