You're kidding, right? Howard asked for a vote, I voted. I like the idea of open source, and I try to contribute to the community by answering questions on the lists, filing bugs, and the like, but I do have a job with a startup, three small children, a World of Warcraft addiction to feed, etc. Taking on the documentation of a major subsystem that I didn't build strikes me as above and beyond the call of duty.
In any case, it doesn't change the fact that I don't think Tapestry should go final with the docs in this condition, independent of the discussion of who should write those docs. jeff -----Original Message----- From: Erik Hatcher [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, December 12, 2005 5:24 AM To: Tapestry development Subject: Re: [VOTE] 4.0 final release On Dec 11, 2005, at 2:00 PM, Jeff Lubetkin wrote: > The lack of decent documentation of the new (and very cool) > validation system in either the TextField component doc or user > guide makes Tapestry look unprofessional and incomplete.

Jeff - this is a classic, and often annoying, response.... How about rather than holding an internal validation class, you write up the details as patches to Tapestry's documentation and submit them? Then next time your developers need documentation, you can say RTM that you helped write. :) Erik --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
