Yes. I very strongly believe we need to have a form of
community-provided contents. (Not sure whether disqus is the most
appropriate vehicle, but since it's the only one that's currently
implemented, it's by definition the best we have.)
We also have a wiki, and the existing links to it on each page.
We've had that for a while, wasn't successful.
How did you reach that conclusion?
By recknoning that next to no library documentation content has been
produced on the Wiki.
When comparing the amount of contributions, we should take into account
that D is not as popular as PHP or jQuery.
Wasn't comparing against those - just saying it's not happening. FWIW in
my opinion: click on a link to get somewhere vs. content integrated on
the page - big difference.
The previous system used ProWiki, the problems of which have already
been discussed in depth. One of the more important ones, as it pertains
to discussion, is that it did not provide a simple way to monitor all
changes to comment pages (it does not seem to have an equivalent of
MediaWiki's Special:RecentChanges and RSS/ATOM feed). Thus, questions
could go unanswered for months, until someone actually noticed that a
question has been asked.
With MediaWiki, I have the option of integrating edit notifications into
DFeed, and turn them into IRC notifications. This has allowed #d users
to answer StackOverflow questions within minutes of them being posted.
(I have delayed this to avoid pointless flooding while the bulk of
initial edits occurred.)
That sounds great.
