[TYPO3-doc] Comments for documentation: In our wiki? In our forum?

[Martin Bless]

Hello,

quoting from another thread about the possible benefits of having
comments on documentation pages:

> Basically the same that www.php.net/manual/en/ benefits from

I assume that for several good reasons we won't be using a foreign
service like Disqus for this. On the other hand we don't have much
manpower at hand.

Two still very incomplete ideas come creeping up in my mind again
and again:

- Can we make use of our Wiki for this?
- Can we use our mailinglists/forum for this?

Just thinking aloud:

What if we place a link on each documentation page that links to a
corresponding Wiki page? Like:
http://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/TCAReference/Introduction/  ->
http://wiki.typo3.org/typo3cms/TCAReference/Introduction/

Or if we had a mailing list for comments (mirrored at
forum.typo3.org) and we would have a link on each documentation
page that links to comments for that page in the list?

Feel free to continue with this ideas ...

Martin
