It is always a question about budgeting time!

I was voting that more time should be budgeted for developing great
documentation for what may already exist.  In order for a community
and product to remain strong, they must grow and learn to collaborate
with the rest of the world.  In order for a community to grow, there
must be a means for new members to come up to speed.

If Leo wants to remain a sandbox for a select few - the surest way to
do that is to follow in the footsteps of perl and ignore the needs of
the larger community.  That is why new technologies overtake old
ones.  Of course it does not help when the existing technology thinks
it is the only game in town.

I use Leo for all sorts of scripting development outside of python
(bash, css3, jinja, sphinx documentation, etc).  But I also realize
that Leo is not the only game in town and I am open to tools that
allow me to get the job down without hassle.  Absence of
documentation, or old/poor
documentation is a hassle.
