Thanks, man.

 

Sigh. The curse of open source: documentation under construction. I was
looking at some open source project the other day. The code said it had been
stabilized in 2003. The documentation was still "preliminary" and "under
construction."

 

The open source movement needs to recruit tech writers to the revolution.

Hi Charles:

 

The same thing happened to me. In particular bool_switch was very useful,
but the explanations of how to use it are absent from the documentation. 

It looks like the project is badly supported by its owner at the moment. One
could write detailed best practices section. I could think of starting it,
but also have no time currently.
