boost@lists.boost.org spake the secret code
Ouch, that's a little harsh.
Yes, it is. Sorry, but I reached my limit in tolerating people indirectly or directly impugning my character because I decided to fix the main weakness of Boost.Test after waiting 6 years for it to be done by the maintainer.
Unfortunately these kind of statements take away from the merits of your argument.
And vice-versa. I'm now less inclined to listen to people griping when they take a roundabout ad-hominem attack approach to their complaints. Somehow my documentation is "lacking" yet noone can point to something specific that it lacks.
You've noted that you're not interested in forking the library. Why not just "fork" the documentation. That is permanently host your alternative documentation somewhere else, and every time you post to a ML include a link to it. That, and if your documentation proves popular enough it will show up in the top one or two spots on Google and it will then become the "defacto" documentation.
The maintainer has expressed interest in contributions. I will issue a pull request with the docs. It will then be in the hands of the maintainer. -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" free book http://tinyurl.com/d3d-pipeline The Computer Graphics Museum http://computergraphicsmuseum.org The Terminals Wiki http://terminals.classiccmp.org Legalize Adulthood!
