WPDocs was passed along on the hackers mailing list this morning. It was created by the folks over at The Dextrous Web which is a web development company that focuses on building websites for the public sector. The WordPress API along with files are located in a sidebar on the left with the explanation provided on the right. So far, the feedback from other developers has been great. Among some of the enhancements in the works is for the pages to be indexed by Google, linking to the WordPress trac’s code browser, and listing the uses of a function. You can never have enough resources like this so be sure to add it to your bookmarks.

Do You Think The Codex Is The Future Of Documentation For WordPress?
During the past few days, I’ve been participating in an interesting discussion revolving around the state of documentation for WordPress, namely the Codex. The discussion centered around the fact that although the Wiki approach was good in the beginning, it simply doesn’t make sense today. Quality has gone way down, there is a ton of trash in the way of the good stuff, and in some ways, it’s difficult. At the end of the day, all involved in this conversation agreed that the Codex would not be the future for WordPress documentation. I leave it up to you now to place your vote and your opinion in the comments.
