For one thing I kinda like the annotated php online manual. This is
basically the normal manual, with every chapter having its own page,
and reader comments at the bottom. Unexpected behaviour is mostly
"documented" in the comments.

I also like the wiki approach, so maybe something in between could be
done: put the lua manual on the wiki, with every chapter being a
separate page. Then users can contribute their own findings, ideas,
or samples to the "official" documentation, and it could be augmented
with stuff from this list, like explanations for certain behaviour
from the developer team. This way all documentation-related stuff
would be in one (probably pretty large) place.


Putting the Lua Encyclopedia on the wiki get my vote 100%
with the wiki pages being 'commentable' per se, we'd get the best of both worlds.

So maybe we can write an XSLT for the XML files mentioned, to re-format them as Struktured Wiki text, and put them up?
