[wp-hackers] PHPDoc and state of the Codex

[Jennifer Hodgdon]

Well, maybe the question is whether we can expand the PHPDoc, for the 
important functions, so that the PHPDoc has all the detail that the 
current func/template doc pages have. It should, if that level of 
detail is useful. I think the main thing missing from the PHPDoc is 
working examples?

The other question is whether people could find functions on the 
phpdoc site. I didn't think the browsing was very intuitive, on first 
glance (like, what do all those links across the top mean?), and I 
don't think there is a search function.
