Empathy is hard when you've forgotten what it was like to learn the topic. There is a lot of documentation, but it is not curated.

This program is the equivalent of pointing students at Wikipedia and berating them for failing tests. > Once one understands the principles of why the ASF as a foundation > needs to do certain things, then the so-called rules are obvious > consequences.
