Yes. And is perhaps the most consistent and most often true critique of open source projects of all stripes and generations (and a good many proprietary systems too). In short, documentation is hard, good docs doubly so. It's easy to miss what trips newbies up, it's easy to trip friends, the familiar, with too much detail (they skip paragraphs because the "they know that already" but miss a crucial new linchpin). On the other hand projects which make an obvious and sustained effort to counter this natural trend to entropy just feel more vibrant and welcoming. To me. So that's the tough nut, from my perspective. Fortunately I don't think the documental entropy dragon needs to be slain outright to make **great** improvements in Leo's documentation. What is lacking, in my opinion, is focus. Not focus (so much) for the master craftsmen, who have a vibrant and active bazaar in the inner courtyard, rather focus for the journeymen, apprentices, and tourists. The sometime visitors. Simply put, there are too many websites. Too many places to look for documentation, a.k.a help. Too many places to find out what's happening and where Leo might, or might not, be going. Prune them all except one I say. Or burn the field and plant a new one. -matt -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
