All right, here's another thing that could help this project: do it hacky now instead of doing it cool later.

I'm partially responsible for leading the community to think that hacks don't work (and they don't, in the long run) but in the short run, something as small as having another javadoc, built with just a subset of the code, would be good enough...

We have been working on ways to improve stuff forever, but everytime somebody comes up with an idea, somebody comes up with another idea, more elegant, more general, more scalable and harder to implement... and it creates a stall: either somebody implements the more elegant idea or nothing happens at all.

I think this is our single most important problem in helping our users: we care too much about them and we want to give them the best experience we can think of.

We need to start caring less about that.
