True. For example, the Ruby/Rails guys figured this out and wrote a language and framework with completely shoddy documentation, thus creating a wonderful book market. Luckily, Perl hasn't followed this path.	[reply]

To be fair, the reason Ruby had such lousy English documentation is that it originated in Japan. There's no excuse for the state of the core Rails documentation, however.	[reply]

It's kind of a lose-lose situation for any open source software, isn't it? If the core documentation is great people will complain that the books are a waste of money, since you can get everything from the documentation. If the core documentation is poor, people will complain that they're pumping the book market.	[reply]
