True, in detail for all technical writing :-(

How does it help, and exactly whome?

Good documentation encourages the *use* of the project, but how should 
this help the project coders?

It would increase the acceptance of a project a lot, when somebody wrote 
a book *before* the coding starts, and then the project is made usable 
in the outlined way. Writing books about all those nasty problems, that 
arise from the installation, configuration and use of FPC/Lazarus, on 
the various supported platforms, IMO doesn't make much sense, because 
they will be outdated within weeks :-(
