Ken,
I agree 100% ...
Having done development on large IT projects in small organizations
I am well aware that documentation sometimes lags ...
Tomasz,
You have a place that you specifically set up to capture requests for
enhancements and to report bugs, which I think I have used once or
twice in the last 6 months. Discussion here is just that,
discussion. I know you try and participate here and that's good, but
I'm sure it can also be distracting which I believe is hardly our
intention.
