I don't believe Peter Duniho's barking up the wrong tree - he sees room for improvement, and wants to discuss what to do to make it happen. I.e. he appears to care about making the platform better (probably something we all share)...

These are the main valid issues from my point of view:

1 Apple's docs, particularly in relation to Objective-C & Cocoa, have some room for improvement:
- e.g. navigation (can't go back to list of methods after clicking a method name hyperlink for example)

interesting.. can you give me more information on this off-list




3 There's a belief (among) that Cocoa is in some way special and these documentation (or more general) shortcomings/issues are not relevant or real or justified.

Wow. This is definitely _not_ the mindset of techpubs (if I can speak for our department momentarily). The issues and shortcomings are most definitely things we want to hear about and try to resolve.
