I have had different experiences and find them a bit oversized. But I
understand your point.
The problem is that we are creating a "how to develop uDig" book and lack a
decent developer manpower in the community.

I am ok with adding docs with new functionality, which I think is what I
have been doing.

We have usual problem of uDig having this double face of framework and user
GIS. It disperses our force :)

I will most probably try to nail down the editor part  and missing doc/code
this weekend. If you are hacking, we can do some together. Everyone is
invited obviously, let's hope in some bad weather :)

Cheers,
Andrea
