Re: Raspberry PI information

[Michael Lyle <mlyle%lyle.org@localhost>]

There's a lot of ways for documentation to be bad.

It can be bad because the person who wrote it didn't fully know what
was going on.  It can be bad because the organization and explanation
is bad.  But it can also just be old and out of date.

Chasing away people who want to improve the docs will just ensure that
we end up with the third.
