That has always been the problem. The people who write the code put
a lot of effort into it and often lack the energy / will to document
it other than a post to the list. The experienced people generally
don't need documentation other than that post to the list so they
don't write it. Newbies need the documentation, but don't know it so
they can't write it. Once they do know, they no longer need it, so
they still don't write it.
Summary: we need more volunteers to start capturing and organizing
the documentation. Every sentence helps!
The site to do this on is: http://wiki.objectstyle.org/confluence/
display/WOL/Home
Right now, it is all under the tutorials. As we get more information
published, we may need to add more structure / organization to this.
