Real products are documented before they are > in commercial use. Really? That's very different from my experience as a commercial software developer. And, it's not the experience I had from using your products as well. Documentation was as sparse as the FreeBSD documentation, but this is typical of most projects, except for government projects which requires truckloads of documentation. That's the main reason that government projects are rarely on time and budget, and never end up with the features that are desired. They spend all their time documenting, and no time implementing. :) Nate To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
