I was being very cheeky about the JQuery thing. Now that you mention it, there is no diagram or even a written explanation of how there frameworks or libraries are built. In the broadcast world very old facilities have incomplete or inaccurate drawings indicating what goes where, and that is the end of the world when it come time to commission a large piece of infrastructure. Why on earth isn't there diagrams of what functions etc goes where? Is it a case of restricting knowledge? Surely that can't be the case, if people want their framework used. Also there seems to be no standard protocol when it comes to the instructions that do exist. By that I mean, there seems to be no thought gone into who reads these instructions: as long as the author understands, it's fine. And there's no structure to writing docs other than, getting started, doc's etc. That's it. As formal as it gets. Maybe this is an area that needs to be addressed...
