Shay, I would like to suggest that you open up your elasticsearch documentation as a wiki, or at a minimum to allow user comments. That way as a community people can fill in any blanks and make clarifications where necessary instead of having to search the user group for answers that are many times scattered all over the place. I think it would be helpful if someone has questions about a specific topic to be able to scan the comments specific to just that particular topic in the documentation. Is this something you would consider adding in the future?

The documentation is available via git at  
[https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.github.com](https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.github.com)

You can add your own documentation and submit a pull request. Shay  
will add in the changes quickly. Granted, not as easy as a wiki, but  
still allows community participation.

I've been meaning to add some documentation, thanks for reminding me.

Cheers,

Ivan
