[Typo3-dev] ExtDev Guide, Articles and Tutorials

Is there any fact against putting this big book into the wiki, at least 
for collecting the facts?

At first, everybody could participate in creating the documentation we 
need. At some time, however, I think it is good when some people, one 
responsible for one wiki section, put the content of this area into 
articles published on typo3.org after making sure the facts are correct? 
So we could have a kind of two-way approach: The wiki is the 
documentation being extended everytime by everyone, and the maintainers 
update the articles on typo3.org for creating a manual which can be 
relied on (in the wiki, you can't be sure the facts are correct).

Maybe we can create a page for extension beginners, where we just link 
to the pages and documentation where everything is covered for 
beginners? So we don't need to dump our logic structure of the TOC, but 
have a page giving the extension beginners all links they need.

I like the idea more if the community creates the documents together, 
because they will grow faster. Everybody can write small chunks or big 
ones, just as he wants and he has time. I think if somebody has to "sign 
up" for creating a certain part of the documentation, it is bad for the 
overall documentation when this person has no time for doing it or so. 
Do you get my point? Maybe I express myself a little weird (happens 
sometimes ;) ).

Just my 2c,
Sebastian
