XML Documentation on all public methods #35

The Problem

Howdy! So, I've started to play around with SqlKata on a pretty large project with a lot of team members. The existing documentation has been very helpful to get started with the basics. However, I've found myself reading the code quite a bit to get an idea of how more complex scenarios work.

The Use-Case

While this makes a case for simply beefing up the existing github website, I believe it would be more helpful to include detailed XML documentation for public members and classes. Most developers I know tend to explore a new library via:

  • An IDE, by exploring XML documentation comments in the IDE's intellisense tooltip box
  • Exploring a complete reference website, which can be generated from a project with XML documentation (doxygen). This could even be hosted on the Github site.
  • Lastly, exploring the code - which becomes clearer with XML documentation comments.

The Question

Would this be a worthwhile contribution? Some developers leave these out as a choice, as to not clutter the code itself. If this is something that would be considered helpful, I'd gladly volunteer (without any promises as to timeframe) to begin writing this documentation. Thoughts?
