There's a certain amount of socialism involved in OSS. "From each according to his ability," really is the way it works. If your ability is that you've discovered that the documentation isn't as good as it should be, you owe the project a few minutes of your time to create a ticket describing the problem (and, even better, suggesting how it could be improved). Looking at my bugs.python.org activity, I see I've opened 30 bugs over the past 9-1/2 years. Of those, 16 were explicitly against the docs, and a few more were of the "I'm not sure if this is a docs bug or a code bug, but it doesn't do what it says it does" variety. > Do you really think that everyone > who uses python even knows about the bug tracker? Everybody? No. But, anybody who uses OSS should understand that any non-trivial project has a bug tracker. And even if they don't know where it is, they should be capable of typing "python bug tracker" into a search engine and finding it. > Do you really think that people will believe that their opinion is > worthy of placing on the bug tracker? In my experience, it's far more likely for people to over-estimate the important of their own opinion than to under-estimate it :-)
