Recognizing that the thread has slightly gone off track, I have to say that I agree wholeheartedly with Chaley. Companies that develop software nearly NEVER have the same people writing the code, and writing the documentation, In this case, open-source software, where it's just a few small developers...well. Your expectations for thorough and complete documentation should be kept under control. These guys simply do not have the resources to do it like most of us are used to seeing from commercial software.
But, that's sort of moot. Because I've had 3 issues since I've started using calibre. None of them critical. And all 3 times that I posted, chaley and griker immediately answered, helped, and even wrote out a bit of code. Call it 'interactive' documentation if you will, but I'll take that over a pdf file any day.
I think what bothers these guys most probably is the implied sense of entitlement. There IS no entitlement here, only the authors' good will.
