OpenSource documentation problems

Python does pretty well.  Doc updates, when needed, are an expected part of 
patches.  Every couple of months or so, F. Drake releases a new 
'development version' of the docs which I presume is synched with the 
current development version of the code.  So when x.y.z or x.y.alpha1 is 
released, there should not be a hugh scramble to cobble together a 
corresponding doc set.

The process is not perfect: people still find mismatches.  But complaints 
about 'f**king docs' are truly obscene (IMO).
