Comment 3 for bug 1001922

Hi Fabien,

I'm aware of the #elementary-dev channel (and I should start using it more); however, I think it would be beneficial to implement some sort of knowledge sharing site to make that information more permanent. If for no other reason than to adhere to the Don't Repeat Yourself principle (the devs needn't be bothered multiple times to answer the same question).

Additionally, I'm aware of the Developer's Guide which will be, no doubt, a great tool as there isn't a lot of information readily available outside #elementary-dev; however, I think many of us will be able to cover a greater range of topics in more detail than the comparatively few developers who are working on the Developer's Guide. Additionally, those of us who aren't contributing to a Luna project can do this work and take a large part of the knowledge-sharing burden. This is especially true because a lot of the information that needs to be propagated is entry-level, and many of us fit that bill a lot more so than the luna devs. This means Luna-devs can be free to work on their respective projects and the rest of us can be working more closely to our immediate maximum potential, thereby improving everyone's efficiency.

Of course, that doesn't take into account the obvious cost of the web devs' time; however, it seems this could be a very advantageous next step for the whole project.

Anyway, I'd happily republish my tutorials on your site. Honestly, I'm terribly excited for both Vala and the Elementary project and I'd like to see them both advanced quickly. :)
