I have always felt that Qt has the best documentation I have ever seen:

http://qt-project.org/doc/

Of course, there were likely lots of paid professionals who developed the online docs, but if we want to borrow ideas on what good documentation looks like, that would get my vote!

I've wanted to do this for a while (and got partly to it in the form of /phobos/ vs. /phobos-prerelease/) but didn't have the time to better formalize the structure beyond that.

This is a volunteer project. Many good things started because something bugged someone enough to do something about it. Hint, hint :o).

Heh, yea. But OTOH, it can be a good way for community members to easily point out any errors/omissions/gotchas in the docs.

Yeah, but >hyphenator.js< sox! :p

I still see hyphenation in action on the website, although there's no sign of hyphenator.js activating itself. So I guess some HTML5 technique is used now?

Yes, CSS3 hyphens is used now.  It doesn't work in Chrome or Opera though.

That's why I wrote the hyphenation lib, if someone figures out how to integrate that in the html page generation we can have hyphenation again. The sheer amount of complaints about the slow website should
settle any discussion about hyphenate.js.

Saw that lib, quite awesome! Will be quite handy when we migrate our site to vibe.d :o).
