It is not.  I have quite a lot of ideas on what sort
of documentation is lacking, on how we should structure
our developer-oriented web stuff, and on how we should
be putting all our documentation online.  But the bulk
of the work is not going to come from me, not in the
near-term future at least.

What we need is for a dedicated individual, or group of
individuals, to pick this up and run with it.  And not
half-assedly, either.  Gather requirements, evaluate
options, look at our content organizational needs, and
consider the localization aspects.  Put together a solid
and viable system that's easy to update without turning
into page soup (e.g. live.gnome.org).

It's not an easy task, but if a few people dedicated
themselves to it, truly dedicated themselves, it could
be done.  I am not currently in a position to dedicate
myself to that kind of task, so it's not going to come
from me.
