Excuse me? Not so much secrecy but a little respect for someone who may have had a bad day. You people seem overly concerned with the people involved when the instructions were to start writing a dev guide. Simple. You want the people thing, forget it. As far as I am concerned we either create a dev guide or we don't. > > Regarding not hashing out the 'nonsense' with the Dev.

You want that, I would say this is the wrong list. Discuss or Social would be more appropriate. So are you volunteering to help with a dev guide or not? > I am quite experienced with this sort of thing in the commercial world - No > one let the cat out of the bag until we are nearly ready to launch! - but I > thought FOSS projects where to be the antithesis of this. > Has nothing to do with cats. Has to do with the fact that the dev guide is currently not open and people who should know suggested that the doc project look into creating one. So if any of you really need to know who had a bad day, contact me off list. I think that this person deserves that much respect. If you do not well too bad. Again I ask who would like to help? -- G.
