The W3C, major (western?) browser makers, Nokia, Facebook, HP, Adobe (and probably others?) [1] have launched a new documentation platform this week called webplatform.org It's a wiki (based on MediaWiki, which is Wikipedia's engine). I think the content is CC-BY-licenced (though I haven't found the confirmation on the website itself). WebPlatform.org is in alpha stage for now [2]. Since it's in such an early stage and it's not really well-known and well-established, is webplatform.org the right place to do a PSA as you suggest? Dev evangelists could just write blogposts on the topic. It would have much more impact in my opinion. The level of cooperation and coordination of the different actors around webplatform.org has been impressive. Until webplatform.org reaches a sufficient level of maturity, maybe there is something to leverage if we want any sort of PSA to be efficiently received.
