I'm not using a tired adage. I see a person who's putting their head in the code, figuring a lot of things out, writing a lot about things, but not doing anything other than carping to change the docs. He has the knowledge and the time to elaborate on the stuff he wants added to the docs, so he has the time to patch the docs. We all know that a lack of documentation is bad, so instead of talking about it, I'd like to see someone offer to fix it. So far I've seen a lot of debate and no patches, and the situation hasn't changed.

I'm not deflecting complaints: I'm encouraging good citizenship and suggesting the course of action that is better suited to get results. Obviously what he's doing now is not satisfying him.
