Is there a link to the DBP wiki-in-development? I'd be interested in helping with it, or if the project is dead, making and hosting my own.
At the moment, anyone undertaking a reasonable sized project needs to spend a few days gathering and formatting documentation for ease of reference. Having done this work, I'm irked that other people will have to redo it: having a way to publicly share doc improvements and changes would be good, and a wiki system seems the obvious way.
Would the wiki only document core DBP? Way I see it, no reference will be a "full reference" if it doesn't include third party addons.
Also, the wiki would ideally be exportable to .chm and other formats, to avoid the current problem of multiple different documentation "streams".
[Edit: Also if the wiki could import functions and commands from POD or whatever inline doc syntax you use, that would be cool too.]
[Edit2: guessed it: wiki.thegamecreators.com ]
[Edit 3:
Since the wiki exists but appears to be dead, and almost completely bare, would anyone be really upset if I created pages for the documented core commands, from the existing documentation, since they don't seem to be there already?
What if I also included lists of commands (without documentation) for all known third party plugin DLLs? Simple lists are not subject to copyright, but command documentation usually will be, so insertion of full documentation would require either rewriting, or plugin author permission.
