I agree in some ways, Python docs could have better organization (more links
between related things).

Here is another URL of such a project, i bookmarked some times:
http://www.simisen.com/jmg/cpd/
And there is nothing beyond this URL, like many of such projects.

AFAIR there is a starting of Wiki documentation - like PHP docs, one page
per function, contributors comments & Co, from one main Python developers
(dont remember who start this neither what is the URL).

In all case, dont setup another new system, use
http://wiki.python.org/moin/, at least your work will not be lost.

A+

Laurent.
