I also think that "hacking" documentation can be very important to a
project. Some people say: You have the source code, that should be
enough. It may be enough to very smart guys, and for the original
authors. But it may be not enough for all.

I know that writing smart, precise project documentation is hard work.
And it is difficult for a larger project with many developers. Some days
ago we discussed the attributes definition -- it is really bad that
there is not VERY precise description about their purpose.  

Yesterday I mentioned the Oberon Project at ETH. They have done very
less effort to document it for people outside of ETH. So development was
restricted to very few diploma- or PhD-Students with inside information
-- the project failed, at least in my opinion.

Best regards
