Joel - I think the problem is that (in my understanding) mGSD is the work of one guy, who has full-time job doing something else, and doesn't make money from mGSD. I think the best we can hope for, short of donating enough money that he can develop this full time, is to organize users to contribute to the documentation, wiki-style. Regardless, if you've found mGSD to be a useful tool, consider donating a modest amount.
