David McNab write (in part):

If everyone reading this message can stick up just one page ...
Let's get some really great and complete gcc-avr/avr-libc doco.

I'm just wondering:

Who hosts avrwiki? How do we know it won't suddenly go away? I've had a bad experience working on a Toyota Prius site that was hacked and then disappeared taking hundreds of hours of community work along with it. How can we be sure that work we put into avrwiki will be durable?

Who will organize, scrub and correct minor errors? Who will set policy (for example, decide what is an error and what isn't? The AVR GCC page, for example, calls avr-gcc "gcc-avr", which will mess up searches. What exactly is "doco"? Is the spelling, capitalization and punctuation currently on this site acceptable?

I suppose my concern is that since the documentation we're talking about does exist, is maintained and you can find it with reasonable effort, wouldn't putting up a second source of information oblige us to adhere to at least the same standard of quality as the originals? If we don't, we'll be doing the community a disservice by hiding the real documentation behind something of lower quality.

Graham.
