Marc, This is the key that I think those complaining about for-pay docs are missing. By and large it seems to me that those in the OSS world are there because they love to program. For some that is the only reason. There are not a lot of documentation writers in the same boat - who just want to go out and write documentation for some project for free. We geeks only can document so well. (Or, rather, we _could_ document well, but it is not as much fun as our programming, so what is the incentive?) I was just pointing this out to a coworker yesterday, in fact. Timely discussion. $10 is nothing. $40 is just another programming book. Budgets are really tight in the tech industry right now (in the US, anyway), but I think I could almost justify that amount if the documentation is of high quality. Once things are back to "normal" economically, that is definite "chump change".
