    Are you advocating something like doxygen? I would love it if we
    did that! :-)


Well I dont really know doxygen, but like I mentioned just having a commenting system under the reference could help users get further clarification on the use of each element, I think.

I watched some videos of doxygen but they focus too much on the generation of documentation from code, which is a different thing all together.

So you are not advocating inserting the documentation into the code to tell people how to use the code. You just mean create something that will generate the documentation.

        For the longest I have been having the desire to have a live
        documents on
        the IDL Reference. For people that don't know what I am
        talking about is
        the documentation of the API objects that are supported by
        AOO. [1]

        I have been wishing for an annotation property so users and
        developers can
        add annotations to the various API Elements and code that
        could be used by
        newcomers. Something similar to what PHP documents have. [2]

        With technologies such as AJAX and JQuery, I think this should
        be very
        simple to do for anyone with enough experience on web
        development. For the
        longest time the activities of what happens in the community
        has been
        somewhat alienated from the website. For example, there are
        tons of
        snippets on the Forums, yet none of them make it to the site
        (or the
        application for that matter). Looking at the SDK this morning
        I notice
        there is almost no mention of PyUNO while the forum is filled
        with snippets
        of this bridge[3].

        My thought process is that by allowing this documentation to
        be more social
        it will also connect the dots for new development to happen.
