I started to answer "1. The Drill website" thinking that it's better to consolidate the docs rather than fragment them.  But then I realised that these docs are for a different audience than those on the website, so having them somewhere else is less of a concern. And possibly even better because

1. a question like "Is it okay to write about unreleased or experimental features?" is easily answered with "Yes" and 2. they can be authored the wiki way of ad-hoc independent edits while official docs should probably try to follow a more controlled process.

Perhaps ideally Paul Rogers' Drill wiki would be merged into such a new dev wiki...

Hi devs

Currently we have good documentation for Drill developers in Drill source
<https://github.com/apache/drill/tree/master/docs/dev>
But to edit smth there we need to create Jira ticket, which can be overkill
for some minor edit. So we can place it in a better place.

What way do you prefer:
1. Apache Drill website
<http://drill.apache.org/docs/developer-information/>:
2. GitHub Wiki (currently it is not enabled for Drill, but the good example
is in Paul's Drill Wiki <https://github.com/paul-rogers/drill/wiki>)

* Both 1 and 2 better in editing (probably 2 slightly better here).
* Possibly 1 is better in searching (via Apache Drill website or Google),
but 2 probably is only
with GitHub search via Wiki pages.
* 2 is essential for devs

Thoughts?

Kind regards
Vitalii
