I am a bit offended by the generalisations in your remarks, Kilon. It sounds a bit like there is no documentation at all. There are several books, covering many of the high level aspects. There is lots of documentation in the image, many class comments are pretty good, as are many method comments - even quite a lot of implementation comments can be found. OK, there are some terrible parts as well, and some people seems to make a sport out of _not_ writing any comments at all - please call them out specifically, but don't generalise. I have spent a large amount of time documenting all code that I published as well as writing separate high level documentation and tutorials for most of it as well as for Pharo in general. I know many others who did the same. On 20 Jun 2014, at 10:10, Yuriy Tymchuk <yuriy.tymchuk@me.com> wrote:
I have not worked with spec a lot, but I think that itâs nice in terms of comments, they are very helpful. Also lately Iâve worked with Roassal2 - no comments at all, but you can ask Alex for help :)

yes good idea Damien , thank you. Right now I am working with Rubric building a new workspace tool basing it on the rubric example. Spec and Morphic are on my list too.
Should I open also an issue on the bug tracker with a slice of my class comment ? Or is posting it here enough ?

I suggest that you ask on this mailing list when you would like to have documentation on a class and you can't write it yourself. That way, we all will read the answer. Hopefully, someone, will merge this and write a class comment.
