@Andreas Nurbo - I can't remember what was said regarding different languages but I can see the different handbooks having separate downloadable translations much like WordPress so it's not all bundled in one place which is one of the problems the Codex has.

@Edward Caissie - I'm pretty sure that's what this new documentation project is going to do. Take the best of both worlds and combine them into one. I imagine it will be much easier to manage as well.

@Viper007Bond - Hmm, even after the work that could be put into the Codex, I think it would be curing a symptom of a larger problem. With a streamlined managed way of handling the documentation instead of it being a free for all I believe is the way to go. Thankfully, it seems to new documentation project still have that free for all feel.

@Martin - I'm the same way. Would be nice if I put in a function or template tag exactly how it is, that it would be the first search result. But usually, it's a page buried somewhere within the results that I have to go search out.

@Lyndi - Well, the Codex isn't going anywhere anytime soon so the new handbooks will be IN ADDITION to.

@JLeuze - You hit it on the nose. I think attention will be steered more towards these handbooks at least for a few months to see how it goes. I imagine if it doesn't go as planned, the Codex will be there as the backup plan and perhaps, might go through a revitalization effort.

@John Myrstad - I don't understand how that would help as wouldn't be better to just have the Core developers/experts write the content in the first place? They are too busy for that so I don't see how this could be feasible.
