[wp-docs] Feedback request - WordPress Help Manual platform

[Marc Beneteau]

I have thought this through a bit more and want to make a final
communication, for my own sense of closure.

First I am sorry for being an asshole.  I am also sorry that this
communication has been less fun than it ought to be.  I take full
responsibility for that.

I do however want my proposal on the table without ambiguity.

My proposal is to merge my free documentation at
http://wpacademy.tv/ww3.htminto the Codex, including videos.  In other
words take the best of both,
would need some re-organization of table of contents (including new chapter
"Quick Start"), and redoing my video title slides (or shooting new).  It's
a lot of work, but in the dozens of hours (as opposed to the hundreds of
hours that have gone into this already).  Work for you guys too of course.
But not overwhelming.  More work for me really (unless somebody wants to
take on the videos, I know many of you do videos)

This system would need meet the following requirements (same requirements
as any professional documentation system)
1) Both procedural (tutorials) and reference sections
2) Video
3) Context-sensitive help inside the dashboard (ie the "Edit post" page
link to help topic, the Visual editor links to help topic etc)
4) [optional but highly recommended]  Expanding/collapsing table of
contents, Index and Search functions inside the documentation

That's it.  I understand if that is not a priority, I understand this is
not the vision you have, and if its not your way of working (meritocracy
etc).  I just ask that you accept my seriousness and good intentions, and
forgive the asshole parts.  Communications so far have been clear this is
not your redirection, its fine, but if that should change let me know.

For the rest  I have reviewed http://make.wordpress.org/support/user-manual/.
Its very good, it just needs IMHO the requirements above, most importantly
procedural sections and video.

Over and out,

marc
