Totally.  Well, if that's what it comes down to then I'd be more then
willing to donate my time to work on updating the documentation.  But, how
does one go about doing that?  Ask who?

Perhaps a report on how much of the functionality is reciprocal and how much
is not is what's needed.  Something to think about.

True.  It seems though that this time the benevolent dictator(s) are a
little more open about the idea of changing things.  They already changed to
default object creating to not align to view for instance.

This idea has been brought up and seems it will be the most likely outcome
at the moment.  I plan on releasing a "my first Blender model" file.
 Haven't quite figured out how or where to host the thing though.
 Suggestions are welcome. :)
