MESS is lacking what many software projects, in particular open-source projects, also fail to give: a good introduction to find into the concepts of what you can see there as program code. This is rarely a malevolence of the implemententors; it is usually caused by one or more of these reasons:

  • lack of time: We have to fix bug#18274 and have to more time to write the docs
  • outdated: Docs have been written with quite some efforts, but since version x.y most of them do not apply any longer, and no one really has the energy to make them catch up (Sisyphus)
  • different level of understanding: What may be plain to see for the developer is often cryptic to the beginner.
  • hidden knowledge: Similar to the last point, the developer does not even know that he adds some missing links for understanding.
