Just to pipe up for the other side, while I would by no means defend the lack of documentation as a good thing, given limited resources I actually prefer new features at the expense of documentation. I realize there is a large range of computer expertise in the pymol user community, and obviously there are many who prefer more documentation, but even with an occasional frustration of not finding something I need, I personally am pretty happy with the users list archive, the wiki, and the "help" command within pymol. And at "worst" (i.e. least immediate), I've found that this list gives pretty helpful and rapid responses. So without knowing anything of the timetable for development, I'd suggest the lack of a full up-to-date manual is excusable (or at least not grounds for removal of support) at least in the drive to version 1.0 or some similar landmark release.
To reiterate, I'm not trying to force this view on anyone, just provide some representation for the alternate (possibly minority) enjoyment of exciting and useful new features that take a bit more effort to learn to use given the lack of documentation...and therefore encourage us to help each other out in the meantime. Also motivated to speak up since my last message appeared a catalyst for the documentation requests...and that being said, I too would like to request more documentation! (...at some point when it fits in). Cheers, Seth (
