-1 on wiki; wikis are where good information goes off to die. Well, all documentation requires vigilance to remain relevant and current. I'm sure you don't think the Python wiki is useless, right? ;) I have to agree with Jesse. We have too many wiki pages that are so out of date they're dangerous. They serve a purpose, and I think we should have a wiki in addition to the "official" documentation. This could be aggressively linked from it so people can comment on that documentation -- a commenting system like the PHP docs have would be even better, but that's been an unimplemented idea for so long that I'm not holding my hopes up.

You should read my tweets more often :)

Yes, I know I promised this for last year, but this time the code is already merged, and I "just" need to polish and set it up on docs.python.org.

cheers, Georg
