I´m intrested in helping setting up a reference manual, I have never done anthing like this before so help is needed, I´m neither so deep into web2py yet that I know where to start.
I guess we need to start and agree on three things: a) type of manual, wiki or "php forum style". I think wiki sounds better for this as there are so many contributors, I think we get a better manual, easier to read. b) hosting, I have never used GAE so no idea what it would cost, on GAEs page is stated that you get "around 5 million monthly pageviews for free". Is this enough? If a CentOS box with Python 2.5 and Apache is better then I might be able to offer a hosting environment at least to start with. c) structure of the reference manual, is there somebody how could start sketching a structure of the reference manual, I don´t think we need a) and b) to start with sketching.
