Write the Docs Helps Create FLOSS Software Documentation (Video #2)

Posted by Roblimo on from the clear-documentation-makes-it-easier-to-use-the-software-you-wrote dept.

Say hello once again to David Smatlak, who works with Write the Docs -- a group that started some years back as Read the Docs.They have conferences in the U.S.and Europe, and Meetups in over a dozen cities. We ran a conversation with David Wednesday, but couldn't fit all he had to say into one video, so here he is again, with additional info that tags onto Wednesday's video.

    Who needs documentation? Just look at the source code. I had enough difficulties writing it, you should experience the same reading it!

    Documentation is for sissies anyway...

      Poe's Law. Too many people say "just look at the source code" and are serious.

    Should /. be marking flash videos explicitly? Do people still use Flash -- at least the /. crowd?
