It would definitely be good to have something like clojuredocs.org. You 
could include the docs for functions in all packages and Base, make 
everything searchable. If you could build meaningful connections between 
packages, even better.

But – and please forgive me if I've missed the point here – but, it does 
sound like you're trying to reinvent a lot of wheels here. I'm not saying 
that projects like the OpenGL IDE are a bad thing, but they seem pretty 
tangential to this idea of having a knowledge-graph of sorts for Julia's 
ecosystem. If you think you can solve all of the issues around that, that's 
exactly what you should be doing, you know?

What stops you from implementing automated testing and benchmarking for 
GitHub, or providing access to documentation within an existing IDE? It 
doesn't preclude them working well together, since they're pretty 
orthogonal. And if nothing else, rebuilding all these things is several 
lifetimes worth of work.

Anyway, nothing wrong with being ambitious. Good luck to you both!
