And I'm not really going to answer to the rest. It's simply not true. You don't understand lots of things that are there, fair enough. You don't need to. I always tell my students: "keep trying, and ask around when you're lost". They never, however, convert their inability in understanding something in a judgment on the quality of the material used for learning, which has probably been evolved through generations of other fellow students, so it's as good as it needs to be. You don't want to learn through the documentation, again, fair enough. Use StackOverflow, books, whatever. Your call. I get the documentation needs improvement. There are ~300 issues that need to be solved. We do what we can. But let's not throw the baby with the bathwater. Let's keep improving the official documentation, and let's try to make it as good as possible for the majority of developers out there. > Your job as a Peanutbutter Lab (junkyard dog) is to > protect them from frivolous input from the likes of, > well, me. > > No, it's not. I simply tried to direct you to raise an issue to where it would actually be heard by the people that maintain that. You don't want to listen, your call. But check if it's done any good in the first place you raised the issue, or where it was moved. You don't want to listen to what I said, you want stuff your way or the highway. Fair enough, I'll not try to help you again. But if nobody answers your issue which you want to do your own way (for instance, proposing "solutions" in a mailing list instead of raising issues in the specific places where they can be addressed), don't say we didn't warn you.

We all have a voice, and we also listen to everyone. We don't want anyone, however, to speak for us.

You want to publish your "keepers" which are much better than the documentation, by all means do that. Speak for yourself, not for others. Cheers JJ
