This is an old request, but I haven't heard anything about it of late
and wanted to keep it alive.

I propose a web2py reference manual where every web2py-native
statement, helper, DAL, auth, settable attribute, ... whatever is in
indexed and every page has sections: description, usage, arguments
list with explanation of each argument, and reference/link to a parent
statement, helper, DAL, etc.

At least, I think a reference should be as good as python's
documentation and possibly better. I imagine this could easily be a
community thing, built by wiki (prefereably a web2py wiki). If we
could all agree to the headings, then we could all choose a couple/few
web2py statements to work on to document. I bet we could have a kick-
ass reference manual built in a matter of weeks without consuming all
of Massimo's time, and preferably as little as possible.

What do you think? Anybody have ideas about how we could do it?
