However I know that these things will fade and I will need something else to take the place. Usually what has worked for me in the past was to set milestones. These will act as roots, keeping me interested in being involved. After all in words better than mines.<br /><blockquote><i>We all “scratch our own itches”.

+<div style="float: right;"><i><br />I did,<br />no one cared,<br />I spoke,<br />no one heard,<br />I wrote,<br />someone read.<br /></i><br /></div><br /><p style="clear: both;">After only several weeks of maintaining SDL perl, Today I have come to <a href="http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.sdl.devel/2009/08/msg1405.html">noticed </a>how important it is to update README's, docs and so on. I will redouble my effort to do <a href="http://github.com/kthakore/SDL_perl/commit/e504c139e12e5592b5694292bb1882ee78b65b28">this</a>. </p><br /><p>However I am not sure where to start updating docs. Has anyone re-documented old modules before? Any advice? If anyone is interested in helping me to sort out documentation please contact me on sdl-devel@perl.org. For people wanting to learn the SDL base there is no better way.<br /></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3102167581424744259-2082858297367668517?l=yapgh.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div></div></div>
