That is the attitude of most open source projects and at way too many
times, RTEMS has to resort to that. We really do believe in high
quality documentation. There are just so many hours in the day. <grin>

As I think I said once already on the list this morning -- if you
have a spot you think needs more information point it out. It really
helps to have VERY specific comments. Something like "I looked here
for the answer to this and it wasn't there". Even better is
replacements or additions.
