First result for "wordpress documentation" on major search engines -
linked to from wordpress.org and wordpress.com - I mean if someone
still can't find the codex when looking for wordpress docs, then it is
no fault of ours.

The term "codex" was chosen so that there is a unique name for the
documentation, not just "wordpress documentation". I have a sneaky
feeling that if we had a vote on it now we'd choose "wordpress
documentation resource" as the the name of wiki and
wordpress-documentation-wiki.org as the url :)

Lorelle, good thing you weren't in charge - wrt "Leaves". If my about
page leaves, then who'd talk "about" me?
