I owe you an enormous debt of gratitude for your advice, patience, and
persistence in demanding a better product from me.
I'll talk more with Valentin and Neil about the Snippet Repository.

Hi Graham,
I'm not saying that doing a 2-hour feature is bad, but I
*definitely* disagree
that losing somebody from the doc team isn't cause for serious
concern.
A feature-freeze and/or bug-extension is more concerning to me…
But that's (another reason) why I'm not the Documentation Editor,
Greetings, all -
I'm getting confused and slightly distressed. I'm now spending close to an
hour a day just reading the discussion list! I'm signed up to do the
indexing, but as far as I know there's nothing ready to be indexed. I'd be
willing to try to write some snippets, but I don't know what's
as far as you're dealing with "serious"
people in a "serious" world. If some geeks are here "for fun", all you
can do is to make it cool: if they have fun at fixing bugs or
implementing features (or doing webdesign or drawing comics or
whatever they like), then y

Please be mindful that we are not all located in the same time zone. I
read my mail 8 - 10 hours after people in Europe do. I wake up to read
whole threads which have sprung up and been answered and re-answered
by the time I wake up in the morning. Its sometimes a but frustrating

Hi Graham,
I agree with *most* of your post here… except
I honestly think that stopping the doc team from disintegrating
is more important than nice new features like that.
Depending on the feature, this can be *far* more important than
having one person stay with the doc team. If you're co
ons.
I estimate that about 1 in 20 people asking a question on -user
will start answering questions for other people. And
approximately 1 in 10 of *those* people will start contributing
patches (either docs or bugfixes).
My hope is that LSR will reduce the latter number to 1 in 5 or so.

Fuzzy Force makes a nice sequel to Grumpy Graham... next time we'll
have to find something that begins with an E :-)

As I said, I've tried polite recruitment. Take a look at the email
archives; probably about six, twelve, and eighteen months ago. It
seems to have worked for doc writers, but it hasn't worked for finding
