No sorry - that was directed at Guillaume.
I don't want to throw your GSoC schedule into turmoil, so I'm not
going to insist on docs now (though I would expect them by the end of
the project), but the project has always had an unwritten rule that
any new features should include the docs - we've just been lax about
enforcing it. That cannot continue though - we really need to become
more disciplined.
