Well, my guess is that at the current speed, all will be documented
somewhere around 15 may 3012, give or take a week.

If we had a team of 15 full time writers, maybe 20 october 2012 would be
feasible.

Of course, this is all assuming everybody stops producing code right now.

And knowing the enthusiasm of some of my fellow developers (or indeed myself), 
that will be hard to achieve.

The FPC distribution contains about 9,900 files, with 3,141,555 lines of 
code. Not something to document when bored on a rainy sunday afternoon.
