Let met ask my standard question: How about documentation?? Some time ago I asked for information about the functions framework on the list. I got some response (thanks), but the info available raises as many question as it answers. In stead of specifc info like: how do I add a function to a builder (allthough usefull) I would so much (and I think other people too) to see a document outlining the goal of the framework and the specifications and perhaps various application/implementation strategies (like for instance the document on the xml importer). I can't help noticing that while the development of new code for mmbase increases, the inclination to document decreases. Example: the documentation on the latest taglib addititons. I read somewhere that one of the factors that defines the usefullness of frameworks is the degree to which they are documented. I tend to agree. Maybe the functions framework should be a project. I suppose one of the goals of every project is to deliver documentation? That should seem right.
