There's something that's always bothered me -- how many developers write usable documentation? And how many technical writers are capable of digging through code and descussions on -devel mailing lists to extract the information that needs to be written? I suspect the answer is "few". If so, how cen we ever hope to get the documentation both up-to-date and useful? -- hendrik > > just my 2 cents > raju > > -- > Kamaraju S Kusumanchi > http://www.people.cornell.edu/pages/kk288/ > http://malayamaarutham.blogspot.com/ > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
