Honestly, I see this attitude manifest in a really nasty way in MongoMapper, which is an otherwise great library. If I would have realized that the documentation would still be non existant (like, completely non existent) after 10 months or so of using it I would have gone with Mongoid instead. Now my project is far enough along and I'm familiar enough with MM that it's just not worth it to switch now.
I'm a very competent developer and often have to sift through the MM source code to find what I'm looking for (or jump to the plucky source code). This is for doing things like finding the appropriate place to use #fields, stuff that _should_ be documented.
Every time I want to look something up I have to sift through the google group or grep through your source code, it's not that I'm not capable, it's just that it's a lousy way to work. Now, I realize that it's your project and you can do whatever you please, I'm just saying that I would have made a different descision and I'm sure the lack of documentation hurts MM uptake pretty severely.
