It's three years more recent than the old list you keep raising.

Thank you! Specifics are the only way things can become actionable.

What needs to be done with SqLite?

What should be considered within the scope of the manual?  LC itself is 
pretty well documented these days, as is SqLite.  What gap should we fill?

SqLite is very popular in our community.  I suspect it will not be hard 
to gather resources for a docs project like this once we define what it 
should cover.

Yes, your reference to old materials being less than desirable is noted, 
which is why the fixation on a list twice as old is mystifying.

This mystery deepens considering the many discussions here and in the 
forums about the Kickstarter list in which you were a participant.  This 
has been covered, every several months, with the latest round being just 
a few months ago. I'm done repeating that conversation.

Moving forward...

Let's define specific actionable needs, and see what resources are 
needed to put them into place.

As an external, SqLite is particularly well suited for a wider range of 
people to update.  And as a popular component, we should be able to find 
the resources to enhance it.

If you would please describe what needs to be done in terms of 
functionality and docs, let's make it so.

We have that in common, and I hope we always do.
