But the ones who need to "gorge on it" can't, because there is no good way to extract, catalogue, organize, archive, or search it.
Yes documentation isn't sexy. It's boring, it's tedious, and I can understand everyone who doesn't want to do it. And it's also key to a projects long term viability. If the only documentation for a project is "the discord", I won't use it, even if an alternative is a less optima technical fit.
Because if I have to come back to fix an issue 2 years later, and I need the documentation, I'd rather read a badly maintained, badly formatted 90s style HTML-ony page, than stare in frustration at an info telling me the discord channel no longer exists.
