Self-interest is a great motivator of open-source projects.
Yes, for sure. Unfortunately important things such as documentation that are not that interesting often falls down the edge :-(
However, I notice that things are getting better at a lot of open source projects even in this regard :-)
From the development guide (which is online, and is the first thing a potential developer would see) to the doc dir (which is embedded in the source). Perhaps even having a section listing the different doc dir files and their meanings.
What about: http://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsdg_html_chunked/ChIntroOtherSources.html?
Placing info of the file contents into the README files themselves might be an even better idea :-)
