> ... so much FOSS stuff looks like shit and has poor documentation. Compared to what? By volume? Go read the documentation for openbsd, freebsd or vim. I've never seen more thoughtfully structured documentation. > Oh god, heaven forbid you're a woman in FOSS telling men to make a change. I wonder how long it is going to take before it becomes obvious that this sort of whining is counterproductive and induces fatigue in even those who are sympathetic. Consider what is actually happening in open source software development. Consider the personality types of those drawn to a field with such great opportunity for self determination, and risk for failure and public humiliation. Whining isn't going to help you in that environment. > ... the writers are systemically kicked around to the point where they don't contribute much ... I've never seen this happen, most of the projects I've been part of bend over backwards to encourage writers. Where did you see this?
