But also make sure its current, and hopefully well documented.

Yeah, lots of FOSS projects end up with horrible documentation. Because programmers usually make really bad manuals. They tend to overestimate the average user’s level of experience, so lots of the documentation ends up vague or outright misleading.

Also, since programmers tend to want to focus on actually programming, the documentation rarely gets updated.
