The documentation is the code. With that said, I agree the documentation is poor for Netrek, but if I had to pick, I'd rather have people writing code, then writing documentation. A smaller FOSS projects like netrek do not (usually) get the luxury of having both. My recommendation, see if you can get the author in irc and talk with him and write the documentation yourself. Why? Most devs, like myself, would write techno-babble documention which the end user wouldn't find all the useful anyways. :-) -- Bob Tanner <tanner at real-time.com> | Phone : (952)943-8700 http://www.real-time.com, Minnesota, Linux | Fax : (952)943-8500 Key fingerprint -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
