</div></div>Right now the next time I see myself being able to devote a sustained<br>
set of time to docs is mid- to late-March. Between now and then I<br>
have too many obligations both time-wise and related to development<br>
with tight deadlines.<br>
<br>
Assuming no one else wants to write them, then waiting on including<br>
them will have to wait until then. So whether the PR gets accepted or<br>
not -- which is pretty much the same as saying whether or not we can<br>
use mainline yt-3.0 for SPH analysis, unit refactor stuff, etc -- is<br>
dependent on that.<br>
<br>
The items that will require documenting:<br>
<br>
* The method being used (relatively short)<br>
* How to add new fields (relatively short)<br>
* How to load and utilize particle data (more complex)<br>
<br>
While these seem somewhat straightforward, I am concerned that they<br>
will require attention I can't devote at the moment as a result of too<br>
many Pretzel Money situations I've found myself in. ("Where is the<br>
pretzel money? When are you going to get the pretzel money? And so<br>
on.") So rather than say, I will do these next, I am trying to be<br>
realistic.<br>
