Well, yeah, that is true of any project.  However, once you get below  
the
magic entry-barrier threshold, more people start working on the real  
problem
(that the docs suck).  But right now is a bad time to expect people  
to jump in,
since most people have just received the annual load of new work  
after the
holidays and have yet to find daylight.
