Hey everyone. As I’m sure anyone who has tried writing a plugin has discovered, the documentation of the API is somewhat lacking. Without the source available (?), nor decent docs, there’s a lot time wasted. Using this forum can be useful, but forums are a poor format for discovery or even Q&A. Anyway, I think there should be more effort put into the documentation, but at the same time, I don’t want jps held back with writing docs when he can be making cool features for ST… Also, just demanding more documentation isn’t going to make it happen – you gotta do these things yourself, right?
I propose an open wiki for API documentation (or similar… whatever has the least barriers for us users hacking around in the docs to share knowledge). Actually, I don’t even think a wiki is a great format for documentation (since it’s easy to make information very hard to discover), but the important concept is that Joe Hacker can add and improve it with minimum fuss.
I’d really like to hear thoughts and opinions on this, and if there’s enough consensus a) that it’s a good idea, and b) how it should work, then I’d be happy to start this project with whoever else is interested.
