Contributions to the documentation have been scarce. 
It is basically a 1-man job for the last 20(!) years.

Writing coherent and comprehensive documentation is a huge effort.

Making it look nice is simply beside the point.
So the proposal of Walter (with all due respect for the efforts made) 
is just a waste of Walter's time. It is again a scattering of information.

Although well-meant, the current effort is not factually helping.
The effort would be better spent giving feedback on the current
documentation, so it can be improved where it is lacking. I have never
refused critique or ignored remarks.

I realize it may come over as not very nice on my part, or even vindictive, 
seeing that I am the author, but after more than 20 years I have become 
very sceptical.
