You should remove the feedback link and instead have hard requirements in your release process for all documentation to be perfect before any code is released.

"Oh the documentation is out of date, why didn't you tell us?" illustrates the problem with Google exactly.
- mimming 12y agoIt looks like my previous reply vanished into the ether. Leme try again. I don't intend to shift any blame here. The feedback link isn't a solution. I know you can't un-see docs and reclaim your lost time. But, there are a lot of words in there for us to fix, and that feedback does help us prioritize :)
- hoodoof 12y agoIt's the development process that Google needs to fix. Google's development process does not require accurate documentation prior to release.
- mimming 12y agoUnderstood. The proof of the pudding is in the eating, right? The only way I can respond to that is by delivering good stuff. It will take time for that evidence to accumulate. For today I just wanted to communicate that we are paying attention :)
- jivos 12y agoI've recently applied for a few documentation/tech writer positions at google. I'll gladly help with improving your documentation and I live about 1 mile from the googleplex.
