Are there rewards for the folks who aren't blocking documentation development? It's not like we can dock their volunteer pay. ;-) In all seriousness - I'm sure that it's frustrating to do the work and wait on feedback that is slow in coming. But every project suffers from more work than hands to do it. I don't think we should be looking to penalize or shame anybody, we just need to find ways to help people do their work more efficiently. We *could* revert features where the developer has not reviewed documentation, but who does that help? Assuming a feature is complete and isn't buggy, is it better for the user not to have a feature because someone didn't have enough time to review docs? Probably not. In this case, I think Chip's proposal is the right one: docs folks should do the docs to the best of their ability, commit, and raise the new docs to the attention of the developer(s) specifically responsible for the feature and the dev@ list in general. (And perhaps even the user@ list.) Best, jzb -- Joe Brockmeier j...@zonker.net Twitter: @jzb http://www.dissociatedpress.net/
