Programmers writing documentation?

I feel compelled to post an update although there isn’t much to say. Last Thursday, I lost power in my house for 24 hours, after the storm in Toronto. It was totally the fault of hydro one, cause we are always last to get our power back after an outage.

Needless to say having no power hampered my efforts at getting something done on Jokosher. And of course I couldn’t download the Ubuntu Dapper Drake CD until friday.

Over the weekend we made some good progress on Jokosher documentation. Jono put together a hacking guide, and I wrote a page about our file format. My goal (which I think I have achieved) is to have it detailed enough for someone else to implement some code that can read/convert our files for some other program. Although I’m not sure who else would want to use our files :). Many open source projects get bad press about having no documentation; hopefully if this keeps up Jokosher won’t.

Finally I have to post a link to this song (Kate by Sambassadeur) I got from one of my Jokosher friend’s blog. It is from a Swedish band, free to download, and definitely worth checking out.
