+1 Writing clear, good documentation is more difficult than writing good code (at least it is for me). Unfortunately, the quality of documentation has significantly declined over the years, with very few exceptions, and users seem to have become more clueless as well --- which is probably not surprising because without good documentation and software being forced upon them, what could they do. -- Fedora release 20 (Heisenbug) -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
