There is no resistance - and it is being done. Every month we document various APIs, man-pages, etc so that knowledge won't be lost. The end-result of that is to create a PDF similar to the PowerPC architecture document. I have not been pointing you to it, b/c as of right what we have is raw data (various header files growing in size) that keep on growing. I need to hire/cajole an editor to help us get from the "raw" brain dump to a book and some sense of milestones/schedule or whatever one does in the book-world. And Peter, just in case it is not clear, every suggestion you make is appreciated and taken seriously.
