Documentation should be crafted. Tons of people throwing random code samples at the bottom of the page is not helpful. See Eric's response: "User contributions should be aggressively curated to fold documentation improvements back in to the source material and remove bug reports and "how do I use this?" type questions." I can't repeat this enough. > Are you familiar enough with the Python Doc team/process to push us in the right direction? I am not ultra-familiar, I just know that it exists, that they care about it, and that often, I hear "Python is better than Ruby because Ruby's documentation sucks and Python's is great." And I think that's pretty much true. I'd most certainly be willing to investigate their process, ping some people to ask them about it, etc, if that'll help move things forward. > Since I'm more of a person to do things than make them pretty I'd appreciate help in such matters. > Yes, please provide feedback. The biggest problem that I have with Ruby's documentation is that it's all just API docs. That's fine, but there needs to be guides-style documentation, too. I get newbies that finish the paltry lessons I've finished for Hackety Hack asking me what next to read all the time, and I have to point them at the Pickaxe or the Poignant Guide. The fact that I can't simply point them at some sort of officialish documentation is pretty poor. I'm making a note to send you an email about this sometime this week or early next. I was going to anyway, but since this has come up, I'll make sure to, now.
