[wp-docs] Structure of documentation

[Andrew Rivett]

In giving this more thought, I was thinking there should be three different
documents.  1. Writting a simple plugin.  I was going to use a random quote
plugin as an example, where the quotes are stored in the plugin file.  The
second document would then modify that plugin to store the information in
the database, and add administration pages.  The third document would add
ajax support to the administration pages to make the editing process
easier/more advanced.

I've just signed up to Codex, so I'll read the documentation on how to write
documentation and then hopefully get started in the next couple of weeks.
I'll let you know when I have something put together.

Thanks,
Andrew.
