My goals were as follows: - Get people to recognize the problem. - Inspire _one_ of the following: 1. Creation of documentation that makes starting to contribute less _work_ and more productive. 2. Cessation of blanket "If you want it, write a patch" statements.
If [1] happens, then the issue of [2] is okay. If [2] happens, then the lack of [1] is no longer disrespectful.
I'm encouraged that people seem to have recognized the problem, and are putting forth effort to make [1] a reality.
If your goal is really to get other people to do a work you want to see done, then I guess you did not understand the full meaning of being a volunteer. As a personal point of view, there is no way I am going to be dictated either [1] or [2]. Regards, Rémy.
