I think the authors are the *core* of such projects, and writing free
|
||
docs *is* actively helping.
|
||
|
||
However if each document was written in a different format, available on
|
||
a different site, and was neither proof read nor translated, the public
|
||
wouldn't mind reading it.

Neither do I.
|
||
|
||
Top priority is the help we provide, the coordinators and the
|
||
contributors are just a way to help.
|
||
|
||
We authors and coordinators are not important, our work is important

|

I think you perfectly understood the problem ; I would just like some
|
||
positive feedback from the authors.
|
||
|
||
If something is broken, please tell us and say what you would like,
|
||
we'll do our best to implement it.
