Stubbing out MT4's Developer Documentation
Given that this a public beta and we are allowing the public witness and contribute to the process of refining our product right out in the open, I thought I should do the same with our documentation. So I published what information and documentation I have been able to piece together about the new Movable Type API and Registry. I am still working on it, but that should not keep me from sharing what I have. Right?
As you can see, the Registry Reference could use some polish, and I was wondering if anyone in the community would like to help me out in cleaning it up. I will still work on fleshing out the content, but if someone could help create a table of contents, perhaps alphabetize the various sections, and even clean up some of the HTML, the extra help would go a long way to making these docs more usable and accessible to everyone.
It doesn't hurt to ask right?

Are you raising your hand David? I hope to be getting this documentation onto a wiki soon so that it can be more easily edited.
I actually have a vision for a wiki to blog integration plugin. Six Apart has a lot of experience integrating blogs and wikis, something we have done extensively with our SuiteTwo offering... my vision is to have some way for a user within MT to link a blog post to a wiki page (either a wiki page in front of, or behind the firewall) and have the blog mirrow that page. That gives you the best of both worlds: quality control and seamless integration into a website or controlled environment, but the ease of editing and collaboration of a wiki.
David, please contact me at byrne at sixapart dot com if you are interested in helping out.

I can give a hand with organizational/markup stuff, etc. The actual content is well beyond me right now, but I can look at it for general proofreading purposes.
