	Very good point. I think we can maybe tell people which codebases are
well-documented, but a link to any available source code should be had. I
think a "desperate" developer might be willing to wade through badly doc'ed
code if he/she can find what they need. (Obviously, the worse the
situation, the less likely you'll find it.)

	Also, I might have hard time with something a "Y2K code spelunker" might
breeze through. Judging would be difficult.

	I will continue merrily along as I have been doing...
