Has anybody ever seen the IBM Redbook documentation ? They are a
practical guide to a software or hardware product. They usually have
stuff like "We tried to do this and this happened" or "We figured out
how to use this product feature and here is the sample code". I think
it would be really cool to have that sort of practical documentation
for WebWork. The reference documentation could then be seperate. At
the moment it's all jumbled in there together.

I'd even be prepared to help out once I know a little bit more about the
product, I helped write 2 Redbooks when I was at IBM.

Good idea ? Bad Idea ? Thoughts ?
