One thing we can be sure of is that they will *never* be enough documentation for everybody. This isn't an OSG specific issue, it isn't a closed source vs open source issue, it isn't even an IT specific issue, it applies to everything in life.
As Winston Churchil said (this is from memory so It might be little mis-phrased): "One can please all of the people some of time, or some of the people all of the time, but you can never please all the people all the time". -- I occasionally come across emails on osg-users from users that appear to me to be almost asking for others to write their program for them, to teach them every little detail of what they need to know. You write code and publishing it for free and with an open license, you provide free support and spend you time helping people out, yet this still isn't enough for some, the mere act of giving a great deal seems to in somehow mean that you owe others even more. So... I feel for Paul Martz, he's put a big effort into to getting the Quick Start Guide, climbed a peak, taken a short rest, but now its a case of "well actually that peak you climbed was just a foothill, you need to climb this great mountain beyond, and oh BTW can you do it for free too". We are a community, so we don't walk alone, one must carry ones own weight though, otherwise you can drag others back. We can all contribute in different ways. Directly by helping write the books and tutorials. Or by *purchasing* the books rather than just downloading the free pdf.
