I disagree, the documentation is in fact inadequate. >> 4) Generally helpful but inconsistant responses from the mail lists. >> You should seriously consider joining the two lists as all it is >> doing right now is making me have to search both lists for everything >> that i'm looking for.

But you just gotta learn ;-) You're both wrong. From his part he must realize this is participatory software. Understand your role, you're not a customer, you're a: 1. Beta Tester 2. Developer 3. Documentor of the software. And ken is wrong, the documentation is in fact VERY lacking.
