Heh. Everyone's gonna want a slice of that.

You know what, if we could pick an app and pick the brains of the dev
team as to what it does, we could possibly have a weekly conference call
of, say and hour or two, go through it line by line, and document the
code as the minutes of the meeting. Nothing heavy, just a few lines per
night - no more than an hour. Betcha we'd end up with an awesome amount
of source code comments. Once started, it'll become much easier to
maintain.

Nope. We just gotta brainwash 'em.

Listen, I just started a separate thread for this idea, because the
beginning of this thread was heading towards the hearth (any thread that
looks like a flamewar might not get the audience it deserves). We should
carry on there.
