I've seen one too many emails mailed to staff or drivers or me
personally saying something like "We're a big company that want's to
embed gecko in our application and ship it to trillions of users but we
can't find any documentation on how to do this" to believe that docs/ is
maintained to even a minimally sufficient level. I think catalog is a
major step toward fixing things for those people.
Catalog could get better. It would be great to see area experts sign up
to edit relevant sections on catalog.
