+1 from me - but please also keep some budget for API documentation in your factorings...

I think it makes more sense to start focussing on 3.0 docs now doesn't it? Or at the very least save any budget for docs to be used against 3.0 (with the aim of having updated docs ready on or soon after the release of 3.2LTR)... Also I think we discussed some time ago only trying to put out one doc update a year, targeted at the LTR release. Do you have any thoughts on that Yves?
