    Anyway, my impression of doc updates is pretty favourable. IIRC the

    request on the
    documentation repository. That's already a pretty tall order.


My reply is more about cookbook (/technical) articles that are not
triggered by code changes. There are a lot of blog posts that will tell
you how to better use the DI or the security component, ...
But it also true that core devs (myself included) do often not take time
to write cookbook articles when introducing new features. This is why
those blog posts could be valuable when added to the documentation.

They could be, sure. I'd certainly find that valuable as a relative Symfony newbie, as things like the symblog tutorial are already out of date and it would be great to be able to locate articles to send to people other than trying to remember who tweeted them.

But I'd also advise making such a section actively curated, rather than just a place people can copy articles from their blog and forget about them. That would turn it into a docs dumping ground, and our experience with that model from Drupal suggests that you really don't want to do that. :-) (Drupal.org has a ridiculously huge amount of documentation... that is beyond the ability of our docs team to manage.)

That of course takes committed resources to curate, coordinate, update, deprecate, and so forth.

    I reckon we'll be fine as long as we keep Ryan well fed and watered :)

You may need some cloning pods, too. We've been trying to add that feature to our Docs team for some time. ;-)
