<p>Personally, I would prefer if we could find a pragmatic solution so that work, that wasn't planned ahead, can still be financed. Grants are only issued once a year - for one-time work - not for repeated maintenance work.</p>
<p>I think our Python devs would appreciate a complete API documentation. This seems to be repeating work - isn't the API constantly changing a bit? Mainly for major releases, but also some additions, fixes, clarifications, etc. in betweeen?</p>
<p>I think, in the future, we should declare API documentation as part of the documentation budget and increase the documentation funds accordingly.</p></div></blockquote><div><div style="font-size:small">Can't we just do that now.
