Acknowledgment of Statement of usability

BJ Freeman
I believe that a statement of usability should be made so that any one
using this code will have to acknowledge they have read it.

I say this because we get users that come to the mailing list looking
for answers that they should have been aware of before using the software.

Like not all functions work, because they are in progress or there is no
man power to complete a functionality.

That they accept, that when they start using this in production, They
have the resources to add to the project and solve lack of functionality. .

Interesting but I'm not sure it will change much things and actually I do not find this too much annoying. RTFM exists because
poeple tend to no read documentation and such. Then they realise that they did not grab it all and come to the ML : it's easier.
Another solution is to not answer them (we don't owe them anything ;o)
