<br>
</span>Here is how I would like to see things ending up:<br>
<br>
1. RFE: "I want X"<br>
2. Spec: "I plan to implement X like this"<br>
3. devref: "How X is implemented and how to extend it"<br>
4. OS docs: "API and guide for using X"<br>
<br>
Once X is implemented I don't want to have to go to 1 or 2 to find information<br>
on it. The devref may have a lot of content from the spec, but the spec is not<br>
maintained and the implementation may differ in some ways. The devref should<br>
be kept current with refactorings, etc. of the implementation.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>+1</div><div><br></div><div>Henry, that's very concisely written :)</div><div><br></div><div>I'd add, if X is purely a developer facing thing, then you can stop at 3.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
