| Most source codes from open source suck!!! What happen to the practice laid down
in software engineering? Where are the specification and design documentations?
No pseudo code. It's very hard to understand and modify any code without any
proper design documentation. Don't know about the rest of you but it's really a
big headache for me. :-(
Please don't make Open Source another rubbish bin!!!

Understood. Open Source is a free dump site flushed with incomprehensible and no
reusable codes. Nobody wants the waste management.

Maybe you should find a good project, write a good (atleast satisfying
yourself) documents and all will be happy.
Doesn't sound good? Well, what would you expect...

this is a bit silly.
I explain why: open source is just like any other sofware, sftware between
the best to the worse.
Close source software is not better that open source.
But if you are willing to pay the salary of the guy who write a good
documentation, the you get what open source meant to be.
Stallman said it quite well: "free a freedom, not free as beer".
Note that in spite of that, many people have been generous enough to give
their time, and document open source too!
So you could either complain, that all this free work offered to you is not
enough (an acceptable proposition), or bring your contribution to the
table... or both, hey why not?
In the mean time, try to understand what open source is about, and if you do
not like what is there, you are still absolutely free to pay for closed
source software!
