PHP's documentation has indeed been a great success as a 
collaborative adventure.

Python already has a structure--and much content!--for 
comparable collaboration in <URL: http://
www.python.org/cgi-bin/moinmoin/ >.  Moreover, as several
follow-ups have explained, Python developers have differ-
ent work practices than PHPers, and a different relation
to documentation.  In particular, it's hard to overempha-
size how much working Python programmers depend on 
interactive introspection:  use of the interpreter's
built-in help, pydoc, and related facilities to discover
and confirm details that, in PHPonia, are regarded as 
matters for online documentation.
