I would be happy to host and manage such a service if we could get the docs into a form that would lend itself to a page-per-language-element kind of structure.

So maybe an interim process to start work on such index expansion might be an extension of the "user notes" facility, which would allow ad hoc additions to the search endex. As related terms become evident, anyone could log them into a pool which is queued for the next release.

Richard! A light bulb went off in my brain - (ouch)
I think the best interactive model for learning Rev would be the wonderful online MySQL reference. I get almost more from the users' comments than I do from the definitions!! Look at the comments, examples, and strong opinions! The comments are so clean they must be moderated! Perhaps different volunteers manage different areas of expertise.
I want for Revolution what they got!
Here's a random example page. Scroll down for the comments.

This site is a perfect example of class A web design and content management. These guys eat their own dog food, for sure. PHP/MYSQL. I wonder if the source code for that wiki is also open source? And where can I get it?
The docs in a constantly-updated MySQL database! Cool. It even builds docs in pdf and html form - also probably out of the database.
This list is friendly and very helpful and the combined brainpower of many xtalk pros (may I say 'legends') here, but much of this wisdom has to be repeated over and over again for new arrivals without context from the past - and no organized repository that I know of to the extent of MySQL's site.
Here's the full index to the docs: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/index.html
Also is there a reason this information needs to be hidden from the public? i.e not on the free web? "software at the speed of thought" could be also "documents updated at the speed of thought" ..
Yes I know Rev is not open source...but..
