Those that have complained about lack of documentation have been chastised
for not writing it themselves. Huh? So the people who are trying to figure
it out are supposed to document what someone else defined? Ridiculous.
Dozens or hundreds of people stumbling around in the dark, each for hours or
days, is not an effective use of anyone's time and it stifles growth.
Instead, whoever installed the lights should spend ten or twenty minutes to
write down how to turn them on.

The usual way to gather information has been to ask here, and possibly
to dig in the archives
of this list. That may be a frustrating endeavour for a professional
network admin, but for the
average hobbyist it is a learning experience and a way to get things
working by gradually
tweaking the configuration.
This is very strange approach that I, frankly met nowhere else in ham
world but here.
I participated in number of noncommercial and hobby projects and the one
of the main goals I always had was to document things to make it easier
for people to learn, get involved and contribute.
I guess this explains why 44/8 net is so underdeveloped and do not
attract too many people.
Have you noticed what islands of 44/8 net are the most developed? Those
that provided lots of information, documentation and help for people
willing to join in. So, people can join them, learn and make development
even more progressive.
