I'm sorry, but the above is totally ridiculous. To say that just because someone is a good enough programmer to start *using* tg that they should then also - have time to develop - have time to doc - be good enough to do the above - feel obligated to do the aboe is a vast oversimplification. And is guaranteed to turn off potential new users. If I didn't think your attitude towards that was in the minority of the dev core, it would turn me right off from contributing to TG. There is a very very big difference between the python chops to use TG and to develop TG. And if you can't see that, than you certainly won't be able to write docs appropriate for the *new* tg user. Unless you think TG should be so elitist as not to cater to these new users? Writing docs is like *teaching*. I have previously taught music for a living so I know what a frustrated student looks like. If you expect them not to complain, than seriously, might as well not be in the doc team. Anyway, enough of this I'm sure Iain --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
