As to why the current documentation isn't better, or why there aren't

In which case, any form of "Making Import Easier", whether standalone or
embedded into the front end reader programs, runs contra to the wishes
of CrossWire... so is the whole issue therefore moot in this forum
([email protected]) anyway??
Does this also mean I am likely to find my offering manpages for the
existing conversion tools turned down on the grounds that they improve
the usability of the tools, and such usability is explicitly unwanted!?
That would be an unusual reason for declining contributed documentation.
Don't mind Matthew Talbert. He likes to flaimbait, and he really ought
to apologize for his slander (which is furthermore slander of the false
sort).
You're absolutely welcome to do anything and everything you're willing
to do (even as little as complain and point our deficiencies) to aid
module creation in any capacity. More man pages would be fine--though I
think we might do best to simply include links to the Wiki, which we can
keep up to date. The utilities are tending to evolve quickly--especially
the osis2mod & tei2mod utilities. So we can have 2 or 3 decent revisions
of the utils between releases of the library, and the Wiki is a better
tool for improving docs than man pages would be. I just imagine that man
pages, once created, would go unmaintained after one or two revisions.
