I won't bother looking into it if you are...I'll just continue with the
device driver book...

Documentation doesn't matter.  Release, and relase often.  It is the mantra of 
OSS development for a reason.  I experienced it in cold hard reality with 
gperiodic.  That thing had a flurry of activity only after I released it,
most of which I couldn't have really imagined on my own.
