In my opinion, and it seems perfectly logical to me, if someone writes some code, but provides no documentation, such that no one can use it, then what is the point? They have not provided a solution to anyones problem except their own, and have no added value to the open source community in any way, except to create 'vapourware' whereby software appears to be available, but is unusable, because no one can work out how to make it work.
