Very interesting idea. I think that this is definately worthy of the Wikimedia foundation, but might be more suited to being a part of Wikibooks for the moment. However, I do like it. If you want, please look at and comment on Wikiscope, my own Wikimedia project proposal. Dbmag9 19:58, 10 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

I still do not understand what a wikidoc is. How is it different from a normal wiki? — The preceding unsigned comment was added by 64.115.189.2 (talk) 18:46, 27 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Good idea. In Sourceforge and others is thousands of programs. In Wikipedia are only well known programs. Wikidosc should be in many languages Borneq (talk) 23:14, 28 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

It's 2021 and I really wish this were a thing. Documentation across software projects is really uneven: some are documented in detail, others sparsely; some are documented for beginners, others assume expertise. And there's a huge variety of different structures and conventions used for organizing documentation, too.

It would be amazing if there were a centralized, highly-structured, highly regular collaborative documentation resource that operated independently of the software projects themselves. That way, a broad community of people could create documentation, yet software projects wouldn't have to change anything about how they do their own documentation unless they wanted to adapt to Wikidocs.

Possibly it could be organized around the four kinds of documentation? DanielFlaum (talk) 21:37, 19 June 2021 (UTC)Reply
