- then mention it in your question if you don't want a RTFM answer!
- you still don't point what's not clear in the doc.
- I see your prefer to spend someone else's time rather than yours. All
understandable but not very cool for others.

I read it and I've found it a loss of energy and time. I lost at least 2
hours reading it while I could have spent that time working on Maven's or
Cargo's doc in the meantime ;-). And I didn't learn anything new.

I still don't see what you've added to the discussion. You keep making
generic claims that it's not documented enough. We know this. If you could
point a specific element, get an answer from the list and then fix the doc,
then that would be useful.

... and annoyed committers, which is never good if you plan to use the
software and need help in the future...

No, what you really asked is that someone does the work for you.
 
Sorry for the tone but it took all my energy not to answer to your thread on
documentation and now you've brought me into it. The problem is the way you
voice it and your demands without proposing to help. If Maven is not ready
for you yet, don't use it now. Wait a bit till the doc gets better (most of
us are working as much as we can on do as I type this). You should see a
dramatic improvement in a month or so.

Thanks
-Vincent
