I never suggested you write it.
The word "you" threw me off. Thanks for the clarification.
I objected to you advising the mailing list not to include this
discussion in the Dictionary because it would start down a slippery
slope towards "too big."
This discussion is many pages long and involves a wide range of keywords
and concepts, begging the question: What should be written, and where?
Many here have expressed the opinion that something should be added
somewhere, but so far only two have offered specific suggestions, and
they differ from one another.
In both of those cases (and more than a few others) I've very explicitly
encouraged them to contribute their additions to the docs - once more in
case it was missed:
As I've noted here before, this blog post offers some helpful
guidance for community members to get started contributing to
the documentation to make it more of they want:
<https://livecode.com/putting-the-you-in-documentation/>
My "Yes" was indeed a "Yes, and.." with the "and" being to please be
mindful of the different types of documentation people use, and the
intended audience and scope for each.
Specifically, I wrote: "Go for it, but please be brief in Dictionary
entries."
Hardly seems the stuff of wholesale discouragement.
And all the while the core question remains outstanding with no
submission to the docs: What should be written, and where?
