Yeah, would be really nice to have such community driven docs.
Especially in the Java documentation I would like to be able to just
hit 'edit' without git-ting around or sth.
But I also understand that the wiki is now a bit hard to navigate ...
is it an option for you to use external hostings for that doc?
E.g. wikispaces which has wysisyg or google code or something?
Regards,
Peter.

Hey fellows,
I created a new site for elasticsearch, underhttp://www.elasticsearch.org, hope you like it :). It still goes through changes, but the gist is there.
One of the things that I wanted to do was move all the docs to the github wiki, which I did. But now, I am not too happy with it. It mainly has to do with how the classification of pages is done on github wiki, so currently I am thinking of moving it back to the site itself.
The idea of moving it to the github wiki was to try and create more community driven content. Pages can edited on the spot, but, the whole fork clone thingy does not work properly with the github repo of the wiki, and you have to commit to see it locally on gollum.
The site itself if hosted on github (elasticsearch.github.com), so maybe the way I was trying to solve the community helping out thingy was wrong. Maybe with some publicity on how to get going with the site repo, fork / pull will be simpler and people will be able to share tutorials, getting started and the like.
I am playing now with moving the docs back to the site (grrr, after moving them to the wiki
), I will see how it goes... . One of the things I wish to focus on post 0.15 is a boost to the documentation.
