I'm afraid I don't agree that the solution to documenting changes is not
to document anything. That may be a little harsh, but I firmly believe
that documentation is key to acceptance.
It's OK. Well my concern is about long-term maintainability. We're very
busy all the time, and redundancy in our codebase often results in birot.
Can I count on your commitment that you'll be around to adjust this
documentation if it gets out of sync, etc?
Yes, I think you can. I've always been interested in the boot process. I
remember disassembling the boot sector back in the late '80s to see what was
going on. That was before I knew about open source and the use of the
internet became generally available (I didn't have it).
I went back to school late in life (91-93) and my dissertation was on the
effects of comments on the maintainability of source code. :)
Now I'm semi-retired and I think I can commit to a few years. I don't think
my interest will wane. :)
You're the dream-person to do this job. And bless you for taking it on :).
