Public question to the author of LISTSERV:
Would it be a major problem if instead of putting new functionality into
listserv as you have time to work on it you were to begin documenting the
existing functionality? I have the feeling that if you documented half as well
as you can code -- it would be awesome! This, of course, would allow for
others to participate in the development of listserv with you being the
coordinator (or someone else). Yes, I am aware of the problems this brings
about, but Eric, you are but one individual, and ONE can only do so much
(albeit a lot, but not everything!). Included in the documentation would be
the user point of view, the technical perspective, and insight as to how other
releases work so people can realize what would break an older/different
listserv. We all hate documentation, but would you be willing to do this?
