[Elecraft] Documentation

[Edward Dickinson, III]

With all the communications here on the list, there are a number of ideas on
how to improve perceived shortcomings of the K3 (other?) documentation.

Elecraft is busy with product and firmware development and just plain
running the business and maintaining profitability.  Perhaps they can't
score an A+ as measured by all users of their products in every aspect of
their endeavor.

The names and email addresses of most of those contributing to the
documentation discussion are known.  It shouldn't be difficult to draw up a
list of those interested in offering their thoughts on improvements.  It
seems some have the time to make extended commentary on the matter.  Other
contributors might be solicited from the mail list.

Some might take the opportunity to step forward and lead an effort via
direct email among the interested people to turn the energy of the
discussion of what's wrong and the better ways of documentation into
actually implementing them.

Beginning with the existing K3 or other Owner's Manual, overhauling it as
deemed necessary and allowing for editorial oversight by Elecraft might move
the matter further towards realization of a 'better manual' than the open
mailing list discussions and calling upon Elecraft to implement them.
