Very easy. People do things. Not people try to force other people to do
things, or try to extort other people to do things (if you do this, I might
help out, or many other people will come).

Don't blame the tools, don't blame core, don't blame the weather, just
start.

That is also what is wrong in these threads. All these threads about what is
wrong with the docs have combined hundred times more lines then were
contributed externally (by non core committers) to the docs.

I experience the same from time to time in MSEide+MSEgui project. People complain missing documentation and write if there were good documentation tools (which actually means if I would make them) they and other users would write documentation. Don't believe such statements, it is not true. The mentioned Lufdoc from Lars is such a good tool for user contributed source documentation, it exists since a long time. AFAIK there is not a single Lufdoc contribution from MSEde+MSEgui users other than Lars. The only thing what would happen if you or me would build the perfect documentation tool is that they would use that tools in their projects... People who are willing to work on documentation are able to work with existing possibilities or improve the tools oneself.
