Have you had the experience of finding a nifty bit of code on the<br>
web, trying it out, and then discovering that technique<br>
only worked in version X.YY, or requires module Z that<br>
is no longer available?<br>
<br>
Well perhaps we can address this situation.<br>
<br>
I would like to see an online system that facilitates<br>
the collaborative production, cataloging and updating of <br>
community documentation. See an article, "Rethinking Community <br>
Documentation" by Andy Oram <br>

<br>
Features I would like to see:<br>
A Wikipedia-like capacity for community update-ability/modifiability<br>
of documentation submissions.<br>
<br>
Database for cataloging available packages, modules, FAQs, How-Tos<br>
tutorials, cookbook code fragments etc. Should have capacity for <br>
developers to add and others to add to their contributions. <br>
<br>
Oram suggests a rating system for submissions so users can assess<br>
the quality of submissions, and point to parts that need modification<br>
or clarification..<br>
<br>
Might use TurboGears, Django AJAX or other web framework?<br>
<br>
I think main Python documentation is great, but there is a lot<br>
of stuff out there that isn't documented so well, or needs<br>
updating. This project is intended to adress that need.<br>
<br>
What would you like to see?<br><br>
