I'm sorry Cole, however even I could get a server started and running fairly well with using just the wiki information. I do have an advantage, being in the IT industry and being able to troubleshoot alot of my own issues. However, the information IS there if you look for it. The documentation for 0.6.5 works for 0.6.6 and 0.7.0. Heck even the 0.6.4 documentation, which is excellent, is a good starting spot for the later versions.
As for your comments about putting out a new version without fixing the bugs in the old version maybe you don't see the importance of putting out version 0.7.0. With this done, they can easily focus on content and bugs without having to worry about staying compatible with ANY client other than the fresh install client out of titanium. I also remember that when they said version 0.7.0 came out that it was extremely buggy, and that it would take time to fix those bugs. Even FNW has admited that a couple bugs they thought were fixed with 0.7.0 and titanium were indeed not fixed.
You compared this to SOE, keep this in mind before you compare this project to SOE again. SOE makes money off of what they do. They charge for the game and for the subscription fees. It's SOE's JOB to make it work and when they don't they deserve any fuss they get from their customers. EQEmu is doing this for free, and they don't need to do it at all. Keep that in mind. If you are here looking for simply free Everquest, then in my opinion you are here for the wrong reasons. However, if you are here for possibly a better Everquest down the road, then welcome.
As for only having two developers and this project being open source, the biggest problem I can see with this community is that people don't share openly. This renders your open source arguement mute. I myself am not a programmer, but I help in the ways I can help. One reason I've kept my EQ account active is to collect information for the database projects, which I need to submit in the near future.
I hope you don't take this as an attack but as a well thought out response to some of your grievences.
