Jason, Again maybe - I'm concerned about too many avenues/sites for technical info that tend to change frequently, with the core team being unable to maintain them and increasingly not responding at all or responding with the usual RTFM (as you pointed out in your documentation presentation in Oslo last year, the documentation is poor and fragmented - it's next to impossible to find solutions to significant problems using that route because so many things are NOT documented or it's buried under a lot of techie lingo with limited or non-existent links to real-world issues as they are viewed by people in the field).
I'm increasingly convinced that we need fewer documents/sites for technical info - and rather one major source that digs really deep into every single aspect of the UI and processes, outlining both what is there and what isn't. Too much of that is currently only in the heads of the core team, which are overwhelmed and not able to respond to the more complicated issues.
