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.

But this is a hobby, and there are not going to be specifications and documentation until someone who feels the need for them is going to write it. And they do not volunteer! 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.
