 That response does not respect people’s limited time. Examples from my own 
brief experience: 

   - Had to run some Ruby server… the instructions of which are currently 
   in a dead link 
   
<https://github.com/clojuredocs/guides/blob/master/cds/blob/master/README-tools.md>.
 
   
   - Had to fix a problem <https://github.com/clojuredocs/guides/issues/143> 
   with that Ruby server’s markdown lib. 
   - Weekly+ releases were jarring when I was used to rapid release cycles. 

 You’re advocating a course of action whose predictable effect is to eat up 
unexpected hours of helpful people’s time. Probably triggering Impostor 
Syndrome in half of them because it’s supposed to be reeeealy easy… 

People need to make rational decisions on time allocation. They should be 
cautioned that clojure-doc.org vs clojuredocs.org is a highly confusing 
situation, which will impact the effectiveness of their efforts. Docs are 
about empathy, which means discussions should show empathy. 

This whole discussion is such a headache… With all the attempted shaming 
for not contributing, when many of us spend massive amounts of time 
contributing, and are merely trying to assess pitfalls from the morass of 
half-truths…
