[gst-devel] documentation wiki

[Zaheer Abbas Merali]

I know that I'm not the only one that has moaned about the static 
nature of our docs.  PHP and Mono both have collaborative docs, and 
both are doing well out of it.  So today, I decided to try and do 
something about it and create a wiki.  I have imported most of the 
Application Developers Manual into the wiki, and as a bonus I 
proof-read and corrected the easy "bugs" with the Application 
Developers Manual.

The wiki is currently at http://zaheer.merali.org/mediawiki/

I offer to maintain changes to our docs (wiki <==> CVS) for the period 
of a month.  After which, we can see if the wiki is worthwile.

I propose not to import API docs in, as they would require too much man 
power to keep in sync.  In my opininion, the way to do collaborative 
API docs is to have like the php guys, generated docs from gtkdoc 
acting as static content templates for a dynamic commenting system.

The documentation is not as good as it should be, and maybe with easier 
editing accessibility, people can contribute docs, code snippets etc.

Take Care
