There had been plans to do much of that for about 2 years.  I dont think
that the request is asking for too much, only that there hasnt been enough
time to do it yet.

 As for saying 'get the source and read it' that may not be the best
response since not all users are developers.  As a community I would like to
think that we are open and available to both users and developers.

 The comment about a fund raiser I am fairly sure would help, I know I
personally would do more than just some of the initial planning towards more
and better documentation since I would be able to turn down some paying work
to actually have time.  There are likely others as well that would feel that
way.

That isnt quite true, simply because you can get software, and you can use
it for business purposes.  Infact FreeSWITCH[tm] has intentionally made the
choice to more readily allow that.
