I just wanted to say that though I love the GNU stuff, I wish that the
programs were commented. For the most part, the comments are strictly
header copyleft statements. I feel that if the programs were commented
better, there would be more user contribution of source code, fixes, etc.
to the cause. There are a lot of journey-men/woman programmers out there
that would be able to understand the programs if there were design documents
and or source code commenting. Does anyone else share my view, or do most
people not believe in commenting. I know that GNU resources are limited but
it's a double edged sword, because with more comments, there would be more
contributions.
