If an interested party may be permitted a comment (and a plug), I
would like to say that one important function of WWDC is to
disseminate information about new APIs, for which formal
documentation may be somewhat scant. This year there is much that is
new, e.g. sessions 404 et seq. In my own session, 421, I can say
that although the title and description sound rather like last
year's, the talk will be almost entirely new--both because I will be
discussing new APIs, and because I will be covering different aspects
of the Cocoa text system.
I have to say I'd prefer it if more time and money was spent on the
documenting than on the WWDC.
WWDC is as much a marketing and exposure vehicle as it is a technical
dispersal device. It is important on its own. While I don't do
Apple's finances, I doubt that Fred Anderson is sitting in his office
trying to decide if Apple hires another tech writer or has WWDC. :-)
Broad statements like "more time and money on docs" isn't very helpful
in deciding where the time is spent.
Places you find lacking in documentation need to have bugs filed
against them. Developer demand not only brings these things to our
attention, but influences prioritization.
