I've brought up the idea of the quasi-community doc that PHP uses
to good effect.
And what have you done about setting up such a project?
http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.array.php is a prime
example where 2/3 of the "doc" is user-contributed comments and code.
I consider consider this to an unreadable mishmash. If you and
others want something like that, do it. And quite bitching about
the work of those of us who have done something compact and
readable. We are all volunteers here.
As I struggle through trying to figure out how to make python do
simple stuff for me, I frequently generate samples. If some volunteer
here would point me towards the documentation that would tell me how I
can alter the existing Python docs to include sample code, I'd be more
than happy to do so.
I would like to "do it". Please point me to the docs that tell me how
to "do it" so that we people with newbie questions and a need for
examples can get out of your way and "do it" ourselves.
Thanks,
Kee Nethery
