I get it, really.
I do tend to use a lot of words to get things across. Sorry ;-).
Duly noted ;-).
Where would we put an "inventory" project for it to be most useful?
As JP mentioned earlier in this thread, some work has already taken
place here: <http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/wiki/
DocumentationAnalysis>.
It doesn't really look like that effort went anywhere.
On:
http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/wiki/DocumentationAnalysis/DocumentList
The first document is User reviewed by JoeBlow with Expert Reviews by
JaneBlogs.
There are only five more entries and only one is "completed" with a
User and Expert review.
What the heck that properly vetted doc has to do with anything is not
particularly clear.
Maybe we should have an auction?
Auction: Document blah-de-blah
Supplier will document blah-de-blah, work with Sponsors to
incorporate blah-de-blah into their apps, and release the copyright to
the resultant documentation and copyright to the Twisted Software
Foundation.
Supplier will provide up to X hour of consulting to each of the first
three Sponsors (Founding Sponsors) to help refine the documentation
and make sure it can be used in real-world projects.
Minimum Founder bid is $50.
Minimum Contributor bid is $35.
Sponsor1:
I'll give $50 for someone to explain blah-de-blah and how to use it
in my app
Sponsor2:
I'd give another $50 if I could get this working in my app
Supplier1:
I'd have to have $200 to take this on.
I'll also offer discounted consulting on the same topic at $??/hr.
to anyone who contributes $35 or more to this documentation project
after
Sponsor3:
I'll chip in the extra $100 if I can be one of the first three. I'm
really stuck on blah-de-blah and could use some help.
Moderator:
Ok, we seem to have a deal. Sponsor 1 is in for $50, Sponsor 2 is
in for $50, Sponsor 3 is in for $100.
Each of them receives X hours of help from Supplier 1 which will be
used to advance their projects and improve the documentation.
Any future Contributors, over $35, receive discounted consulting
from Supplier1 at $??/hr. for any work related to this issue as well
as access to beta versions of the documentation and early-release
versions of the sample code.
Please sign off on this agreement and submit your payment.
Supplier1 agrees to provide a first draft within
X-period-of-time.
Consulting arrangements begin then. The Twisted Software Foundation
accepts a donation of 10% of all transactions for facilitating these
transactions and to generally advance Twisted. (http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/wiki/TwistedSoftwareFoundation
)
Just a thought...

P.S. I apologize in advance for any formatting issues with the above.
Obviously, I'm not following the coding spec and pylint barfed on the
whole thing... ;-).
