CI User Guide question

[quote author="jedd" date="1255645997"]Ooh, okay. I hadn't even entertained that idea. Partly the logistics, partly the maintenance (eg. tracking changes from the CI svn user_guide), partly the social / political problems with forking CI, partly the challenge of letting people know the resource exists and getting / keeping traffic there. I've been pondering the idea the past few hours, however.

I think anyone that's had more than a casual fling with the CI user guide knows that it has its shortcomings. I really want to work on fixing those - which includes things like the simple syntactical and consistency of examples stuff through to providing this CMS-ish php.net-ish user-contrib-partials-etc for each function stuff.

Every time I try to resolve those two thoughts, I wind up thinking we can't move forward until EL Inc gives some hint as to what they intend to do, what they'd be willing to host, what level of community collaboration they'd entertain.[/quote]

I doubt we get any help from the EL team. Don't mean this rudely, no offense if any of the EL guys read this, but Derek has already said that's he's too busy to mess with a lot of this User Guide stuff (see his reply again on page 2 of this thread). If we were changing a few small things, then he could have done it, otherwise, he said it would take too long to fix. We could probably the system we are wanting rather easily. Preferably with CodeIgniter by just taking the current user guide, setting it up via CI where each page in the distributed user guide is used as a view, then adding the comment functionality and such at the bottom of the views. It would require us making updates to the static pages when updates were required, but it could get things going quickly.
