[wp-hackers] Developer portal

[Jeff Chandler]

I'm no developer but just about all of the suggestions that center 
around documentation I believe would have been solved had the 
Documentation handbooks be put into service. The handbooks would have 
been like WordPress with people creating patches or edits to various 
bits of the handbook which would have been committed by a documentation 
team member. However, the handbook runs into the same problem as the 
codex. Lack of contributors, and contributors that know the ins and outs 
of the software.

Regardless, I think this is all good discussion for the Documentation 
mailing list, not for this specific topic. Everyone wants more 
documentation but no one wants to write it. Would be interesting to know 
if this is a problem that can ever be solved without brining money into 
the equation.
