@drq that's not my point, no.

My point, which I ran out of character limit going towards, is that the only reason you actually have to produce a guide *yourself* is that the only forms of projects' own documentation, y'know, by the people probably best equipped with keeping it up-to-date, either assume you already know *all of it* (which scares off newcomers) or suggest you learn *all of it* (which scares off even some power users). And the abyss between two cliffs is bridged by these guides scattered all over the internet.

I'm saying that in a perfect world you shouldn't *need* to write this guide at all. And I'm throwing some ideas around on how we might get there.

I probably made this whole rant sound somewhat personal, but it's not really aimed at you, but rather at the situation and the sheer size of the hole we might have to dig ourselves out of for this to improve.

@drq and the good news is that I might just have "concepts of a plan"[1] to maybe make that a reality and pool the efforts of guide writers together:

It's a long climb, but it's been eating away at me for so long that I've finally started to crawl in this direction, slow as I might be in my current mental state.
