It is important to remember that umit was not fully documented before the merges, so this is not a flaw caused by the recent merges. Also, I'm not stopping anyone to do whatever he wants. I was just mentioning my position towards the priorities being defined. I'm considering user documentation is not that important because I don't remember reading user documentation for open source GUI apps before, and if I had to I would probably move to the next app. I'm also aware that the UI on Network Inventory is pretty bad and I would, maybe, even "move to the next app", but just adding documentation for it wouldn't make me more happier. Again, I'm not stopping anyone to do whatever he wants. Adding user documentation may prove helpful, specially if the software provides too many things, and maybe we have luck getting users that read documentation. -- -- Guilherme H.
