The WP34 project was lucky they got one on the team, permanent vacations or not he did a great job with those manuals.
I guess once newRPL reaches the 48 level (meaning complete but no CAS) I'll have to go into bugfixes-only mode for let's say one full year, so the team can focus on writing docs and nothing but docs.

I agree, it would be tremendously helpful to have Walter create documentation for newRPL, but alas, he does not dabble with battleships; too bad too, as I would enjoy one of his manuals on newRPL, with the humor, insights and well-chosen examples we've become familiar with.

I like your plan to release the core numeric system for users to test, explore, report bugs, document, etc. while planning/working on CAS components in parallel. Though not the core reason to do so, the real-world effect is newRPL 1.0 will be available sooner.

I agree it is, and I agree it's a good thing! Thanks.
