--- Comment #55 from Ulf Zibis <Ulf.Zibis@gmx.de> ---
(In reply to Howard Johnson from comment #54)
MY QUESTION: Are code comment-only commits (i.e. comments w/o any code
changes) welcome to the powers that be here?
I realize that the people who wrote this are probably long gone, so any
comments will only try to recapture some of what was in their heads, and
comments will definitely be a work in progress, so some tolerance for not
getting them right the first time would be appreciated.
Also my call for comments is not just about this bug. It appears to me that
there are a whole backlog of Base bugs that are in the category of: Given
the volunteer time we have available, 'too hard' to fix right now.
Can I get a green light to start to add comments to the code to make it more
readable, AND if yes, is there some community tolerance for how this is to
be done, as any comments might be better than none?
I have some particular commenting styles I've developed over the years, but
even I don't always stick to my commenting styles. :-) For one I never
like processing comments into documentation, so I don't do that. Comments I
think are to help engineers read the code, period.
Hi Howard,
I appreciate your offer.
I'm not one of the deciders here, I just like to comment, that it might be
better to open a new bug fot this. You might have more readers then.
