I think we need something more organised than a FAQ. I use a few
documentation sites for various things, and my favourite by a long way is
the PHP manual at
http://www.php.net. For each function you have nicely
formatted manual entry, but then you have lots of user contributions listed
afterwards (see the 'fopen' example
http://uk.php.net/manual/en/function.fopen.php).
I think that a Cocoa 'manual' layed out like this would be incredibly
useful. Have sections for each object, and then subpages for the object's
methods. For each method list the standard Apple documentation, but a little
more standardised, ie, wether or not objects returned are autoreleased,
wether data is copied or referenced, stuff like that that confuses noobs
like me.
After that people can post their tips/tricks/pitfalls/general comments etc
etc. These comments could even rated.
Any thoughts?
