No, he really is right. I'm not coming at this from the perspective of
someone who bought into his entire article, just the one paragraph I
quoted. After which, I went and picked five random packages from
CPAN's category tree, and five from rubyforge's. Of the five from
rubyforge, four had no documentation, and one had a link to an
external site which was either down or no longer available. I'm not
pointing fingers; my own projects are in no better shape. I'm just
saying that we as a community don't have the documentation reflex, and
that the perlers do.
