No wonder. WordPress is pretty robust and a very nice choice for most websites.

That would be very cool. A seriously massive migration though.

Hopefully they’ll also keep the wiki style community edits. Fortunately, “there’s a plugin for that”.

I said that very same thing on Twitter a while back, it’s something I’d like to see WordPress.org doing too, at the very least it’ll let new (and existing) members of the community actually see what WordPress can do and that it’s more then just a bit of blogging software! … What I’m saying is it’d be a smart move!

I bet you 10 to 1 that WordPress.org picks this up from the jQuery team does the same thing for the Codex. I think this would be very usefull. Then we can kill Mediawiki as well since Mediawiki is over bloated.

Nice Job jQuery Team!

VERY interesting!!

I wonder how they implemented that AJAX Search.

The most wanted advantage of MediaWiki over WordPress IMHO is it allowing anybody to contribute on the wiki. In fact, when I worked on it as admin, I was deeply upset with its lack of user management, there was no way to control access permissions on it! My feeling was that it was developed to be a community-based system, so they didn’t mind controlling what users could do and creating rules and many permissions.

Now with WordPress they can’t have the community contributing directly on documentation, only throu comments, but it seems they already have a great doc, so maybe that’s not needed at all.

First thing I felt when I saw it is that the site is well organized and it is easy to find what we want. Probably I won’t need Google when I learn jQuery and need to run to docs.

They should really share how they developed the site, more APIs docs would be improved using a similar approach.
