Yes. This is true. The work required from getting something from a working state to a well-documented, well-tested, solid state is substantial.
And then there is the promotion / marketing part where you have to convince your audience of your software's novelties and contribution. Anyway I wanted to avoid spending too much time in an effort that maybe wasn't worthwhile (hence the "is it worth it" thread title). So far I am getting a massive "don't bother". And that was exactly the kind of feedback I had hope for. :-D This is a useful internal library but doesn't necessarily make a good open source project.
