Time for a MODX Revolution guide/manual for editors and other end-users

Yep, there's definitely proof out there that this can work. Documentation system built on GitHub repos built on .md documents.

I'll try and do a proof of concept project this weekend.

The developers of SimpleCart and pdoTools have a documentation project up that I've used when submitting English documentation for some of the pdoTools snippets. It is integrated with a github respository, and uses the .md files.

I was just surfing the forums, and saw this thread for the first time. Based on something I saw at MODXpo, it looks like some places do up documentation as part of the project so that it lives on the same site as what is handed over (or maybe a separate site).

I wonder if it makes sense to have an Extra that has non-technical documentation (modxmanual.com is amazing btw) that can be installed and customized as part of the project? Word works well enough of course, but it tends to live in people's email boxes, or printed on people's desks which gets reprinted a bunch of times when something gets changed.

Another possibility would be to simply make it a Google Docs document to which certain editors had access and which the public could download or adapt as they want. Thoughts?
