Sun of course was a huge companybut that doesn't

Writing good explanations is hard, even if you ha

My point is that by the time that I am able to write a nice/useful article
about any library a maintaners of the lib would be able to write 10
articles way better.
Then still there if I write one article, you write another and @whoever

I would say raise money to help people improve their project (documentation
is a very important part that).
With a little of our effort and a big jump thank to some company we would
improve a lot of projects.
