 * Hi Marcus,
 * Great plugin … if only … you gave some simple example values/attributes/arguments/
   settings for your shortcodes and other functions … well organised (indexed) and
   easy to find!
 * E.g. a simple example of arguments to manage the date settings for event listings.
   Maybe they’re somewhere on your website [http://wp-events-plugin.com](http://wp-events-plugin.com),
   but we can’t find them!
 * In fact, your doumentation is the biggest problem with the plugin.
 * If you plan on commercilising the plugin, it doesn’t bode well if the basic docmentation
   is not easy to use to find what you need. I acknowledge there are a lot of settings
   to configure customise the plugin, but whereas this could be a very positive 
   thing, in this case it’s actually a headache!
 * Another point, there are lots of references to ‘things’ that have been asked 
   for a ‘will probably’ come in a future release. why not, just have a short list
   of items currently being worked on, and another list of suggestions which can
   be added to, but not necessarily committed to.
 * Of course some things should go into the Pro version so you can make money from
   them, that’s the reality of life. But I urge you to find a way of properly organising
   the documentation and not refering people to other developers for customisation,
   and for things which should work out of the box – like homepage events.

 * Ok, maybe a I was a bit harsh!
 * Documentation is not always easy to find, rather than not there. But, my criticism
   on simple examples still holds.

 * a bit harsh, but not entirely wrong either
 * why there’s a disparity with documentation/features:
    with all the features being
   added, it’s hard to keep up with documentation. however we do document as you
   can see and don’t intend on just leaving it at that, it’s a continuous process.
 * we take documentation and support very seriously and I think our commitment to
   the free version makes our point.
 * lack of eta’s:
    it’s complicated, but we’re not just sitting on it 🙂
