Abstract
Many people will cite how their adoption of software was based on the quality of documentation, and yet documentation can be one of the largest gaps in quality with an open source project. This talk will discuss why that is, what you (yes you) can do about it, and how the author has so far managed to avoid burnout by learning to accept less-than-perfect grammar.
