I'll say one thing regarding this, as I mostly agree. When it comes to open source software, I do find the accompanying documentation often rather lacking, especially in decent examples. And "use the source" doesn't cut it. My time is not infinite. I often find that the first contribution that I can make to an open source project is in documentation, because the authors are so often unwilling to do it, or can't author decent docs to save their lives. Without documentation I don't blame anyone if they move on to software that has it. Cheers, Mike
