Yeah.  ;)  As a hobby, writing technically relevant docs takes a
while.  We don't even have an OpenCOBOL usage Manual yet, let alone
documentation at the very professional level of Ada and GNAT.
Historically, the COBOL standards are "free to use the underlying
technology" but copyrighted for-fee documents.  Not many hobbyists
have said docs, and the free to distribute model just isn't in place
(yet).  It is in the plan, but that plan is long term and comes in
volunteer spits and spouts.

Cheers,
