Perhaps because we'd rather you contribute to the official documentation rather than make unofficial tutorials that will quickly go out of date? If there's a problem with the specific instruction in the manual, we certainly wouldn't mind fixing it, but most third-party tutorials simply result in people getting something wrong, then coming for us and asking for help when we have no idea what steps they've followed. I'm sorry if you don't feel like part of the community, but when you actively seek to split from it by choosing not to contribute to the official documentation it's hard to think that the community is to blame for the fact that you got a lukewarm response. ** To try to write the same response I accidentally wrote only to Paul, my perspective is that it does not matter what I have or have not contributed to the documentation, as I have walked many folks through installing Rockbox on the three types of units I do and have owned, Archos, iRiver, and iPod Video. I always direct folks to read the documentation before going to the list, and by listening to someone doing it, I believe that the documentation will make much more sense to folks. So I don't get your point about the documentation. Glenn Received on 2007-08-04 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
