There's something that's always bothered me -- how many developers write
usable documentation? And how many technical writers are capable of
digging through code and descussions on -devel mailing lists to extract
the information that needs to be written? I suspect the answer is
"few". If so, how cen we ever hope to get the documentation both
up-to-date and useful?
