[wp-docs] Holes in the documentation

[Lorelle VanFossen]

My post about the holes in the documentation seems to be lost and I 
think it needs to be brought to the foreground.

While Cleanup Week fixed a lot of documentation, we have a LOT of holes 
and energy needs to be spent to fill them. Here is a list of holes that 
I see:

* http://codex.wordpress.org/Integrating_Wordpress_with_Your_Website - 
Constantly requested, NO information.
* Simple things like an article on how to activate the popup comments 
template, styling footers, and very basic information on themes and 
template tags.
* Conditional Tags and various queries - people are constantly asking 
questions about customizing queries and we have very little information 
to help people use conditional tags step-by-step to customize their post 
and template outputs.
* Foreign Language Installs and Support: I'm working with Moshu to clean 
up the mess and hopefully that will be ready next week but we need more 
on this subject.
* Development: the Codex is SERIOUSLY lacking in documentation to help 
developers and future developers. This includes development and writing 
of plugins. Some articles are underway but we need more.

 From http://codex.wordpress.org/User:Lorelle/Articles_Wanted, Common

to other articles for content that crosses models:

This is just a start, and there is more on the Codex:Tasks List. I'd 
like to put together a list of what other holes are missing in the 
documentation. So where are the holes you see in the documentation? Add 
them here and I'll put them on the Task List.
