Well, they are free to open source XCode and have other people
help. Look at Eclipse.
You can suggest it to them, but I wouldn't hold your breath. :)
Probably shouldn't open up that argument in this thread.
No ...I don't hold my breath :)
I think even for the documentation user generated content could be
a good way to "spice it up". This worked very well for PHP for
example. It would be valuable feedback for the tech writers. Just
submitting bugs to the documentation is not the same. We are
entering the age of user generated content. Let's not miss the boat
here. Cocoadev is great - but too separate.
This sounds interesting, but I'm not clear on what your comment
about CocoaDev means, to be honest. The problem here, of course, is
that somebody has to take the initiative to get it started and nurse
it through the difficult start-up times until you get critical mass.
Well, I meant that cocoadev is a separate site. It's not like user can
leave code snippets and comments on the original documentation. (see
the user contributes notes http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.control-structures.php
) And I doubt tech writers at Apple will check on some external site
for feedback.
Not sure there is the need to nurse at all ...someone at Apple would
need to implement a comment feature on their site. Once that is in
place comments will trickle in.
I think face-to-face is an important part to overcome the
obstacles. And this will become easier the more popular it gets.
Amen. I can't tell you how much I sometimes hate having moved away
from the SF Bay Area where there are many Cocoa Programmers, and
there are NSCoder nights, and CocoaHeads, and other opportunities to
meet other Cocoa programmers, to a place where Cocoa is only
something you drink after snowmobiling. Then I remember how much
bigger my house is here and how much less I paid for it and I feel a
little better :)
Hehehe ...I know what you mean. Europe is far far away from there.
cheers
