So what's going on with this? Whilst I know it's a huge job and takes
time, the current docs are just plain inadequate. It used to be so
much better. And there's no linking between related functions. I
realise it's a wiki, but there's no information on how to go about
editing it and it's all so convoluted I don't even know where to
start...

Take .parent() as an example:

"Get a set of elements containing the unique parents of the matched
set of elements."

Does that mean all the parents of all the objects, or just the direct
parent? (The latter I _think_). I realise it's hard to get this stuff
right, but there's a lot of ambiguity there, and I just wonder who's
doing anything about it?

Also:
"You may use an optional expression to filter the set of parent
elements that will match."

What info are you going to give me about how to do that, Oh I see:
"Arguments:
expr (Optional) String
An expression to filter the parents with."

I can give it a 'string'... very useful.

Then there's the 'demo' - What exactly is it supposed to show, I have
no idea what it's done.

Plus, where's the links to similar functions .parents() .children()?

Sorry to sound like I'm bitching, I love jQuery, I'm a strong
evangelist of it, it just seems such a shame that the changes to the
documentation don't really seem to be improvements at all.
