I strongly agree. MySQL uses the same sort of thing and I find it incredibly useful. However I believe that for this to last and have credibility, it needs to be done by RunRev themselves. If they could create the web-based docs with an index and one page per command, then allow us all to annotate it, I think it would be an enormous step forward and it would be making better use of the expertise of all the people on this list. The only proviso is that not everyone is online all the time. MySQL makes a downloadable format available. I don't know if this includes all the user comments, but it would be great if it did. Tutorials and discussions are still vital for newcomers, but this sort of thing would make the docs much more useful for everyone.
