I find it rather hard to believe that anybody is working hard on
documentation. I heard exactly the same four years ago, and the
documentation is as shabby as it was at that time. The "knowledge
base" is still a loose pile of old presentations, nearly
incomprehensible for a newbie. The wiki is a good reference material
for an experienced erp5 developer, but not for somebody who is just
starting. By the way, about half of the wiki was written by community
in the good old days when community headcount was about five people
(including you and me). The other half is mostly a reference notepad
of some of the Nexedi developers. Doesn't seem like a project to which
Nexedi devotes its resources...

Given that you are now in Nexedi, I'm sure Nexedi knows perfectly well
"what are the most important works to do". But, apparently, Nexedi is
just not going to do them.
