Hm,
I'm not so sure whether introducing another source for documentation
than the webpage would be so helpful (there still lots of work to do on
the website...), how do others see this?

Hi sebastian: theoretically, one could extract all the information from a
mailing list search.... but i think a rolling FAQ would much more (1) be
likely evolve into real documentation and (2) be more easily refined . Is
that a little convincing ? If not i guess we can table the idea/// just a
thought.

Hi Jay,
I'm not sure what the benefit of this approach is, people can already post
their questions to the mailinglist and get answers here, why would a google
doc be helpful?

hi mahout... i finally thought of a really easy way of ad-hoc improvement
of mahout docs, that can feed into the efforts to get formal docs
improved.
Any interest in creating a shared mahout FAQ file in a google doc.?
we can easily start adding questions into it that point to obvious missing
documentation parts, and mahout commiters can add responses below inline.
then overtime we can take those questions/answers and turn them directly
into real docs.
I think this will make it easier for a broader range of people to rapidly
improve mahout docs in an ad hoc sort of way. i for one will volunteer to
help translate the QA stream into "real" documentation / JIRAs etc.
