Things like better documentation and diagrams are bound not to suffice if Naur's view is correct that the program lives in the minds of the people who build it. To say, "Oh, the source code doesn't tell us everything, therefore we'd better produce additional documents that do," misses that point.

The best contribution I know of that works well with Naur's idea is Eric Evans' concept of ubiquitous language.
