It's certainly true that we could have much better documentation. But how do
you expect us to feel about spending more time on documentation when you say
things like this, and right in turba/docs/INSTALL, we have:

"   You must configure ``sources.php`` to list your data sources (both SQL
and
   LDAP if necessary).  This configuration file contains a large number of
   **examples**.  Please remove or comment out those examples that **you
don't
   need**."

If looking in a docs/ directory in the tarball isn't intuitive, maybe the
"Documentation" link at http://horde.org/turba/, which leads you to
http://www.horde.org/turba/docs/?f=INSTALL.html, is better?

.. and saying things like this that are patently untrue. The (I think
overwhelming) majority of questions on all 30+ Horde mailing lists are
answered, and answered quickly. Some things slip through the cracks, some
things people don't know. Telling us that nothing gets answered just tells
us our efforts aren't helping anything, so we may as well spend our time
somewhere else. Like you said, all of this *is* free - telling us we should
be paid for us is nice, but doesn't give you license to tell us how to spend
our time as if we *were* paid for it. Especially with such negativity and
missing basic documentation files.l
