Very well said Angel.
yeah, sure! "very well" and "very idealistic"..
(but please keep in mind that idealism is the container of fanaticism
-and of any obnoxious "-ism" in general. we don't need them any more.)
"asking" is not only a right, is the "creative trigger" for everything
being made by human race; and please don't confuse "asking" with
"demanding" nor "user" with "consumer". Into the subject now, maybe it's
difficult to understand and accept it but, "documenting" is more
valuable than "coding" itself. IMHO, documentation is (or must be) on
upper top, in the scale of open source priorities, since documents, or
better the lack of documents, is straightly against to the spirit of
open source initiative, because if open source, due to lack of
documents, is not easily understandable/self-learn-able, becomes
unusable to wider programmer-cycles and degenerates to a cryptic tool in
hands of an illuminated elite, less or not at all, different than closed
software. And this is a real problem with wider consequences than you
can imagine. Of course nobody can demand from developers to write
manuals. All that one could ask from them is to be, their coding, more
documentation friendly, ensuring this way that their valuable and very
respectable labor and creation won't go in vain..
