I hope I'm not speaking out of turn here, I'm totally new to this open
source thing :)

I downloaded the Rockbox source because I have an iPod and would like to
be able to use the iTunesDB. I have a reasonable level of experience in
C and embedded devices so I thought I might have a look to see how
complex it would be to do.

Unfortunately most of the code I looked at had very little commenting. I
was a little surprised to find that even functions weren't documented as
to their purpose and none of the files even had a basic description of
their function!

Please don't take this the wrong way, but it doesn't really encourage
newcomers to the project when they come across masses of uncommented
code.

Bryn

At the moment, I'm just looking round the sources trying to understand
them.

Would it be useful for people like myself to submit "comment patches"?
As I look round the code, I could add comments when I work out what
something does, and submit a patch with my comments in them.

Malcolm.
