Would that be a laden or unladen swallow? :o)

Thanks for the long post, Pat, which is longest I've ever seen you by at
least an order of magnitude ;-).

In my experience as a user of Open Source software, the user
documentation is usually a collective effort, written by users who've
become familiar with the software. Developer documentation is often
sparse or non-existent, though again that's not surprising or
blameworthy.
