Chad, can you expand on that statement. I've been toying for some time with
writing something that allows documentation to be synced both ways. E.g.
for hooks and variables and what not. My simplistic toy example had a 1:1
link but I've been trying to figure out how to make it more complex.
(Ideally this would also allow documentation to be linked to a branch and
thus we then have versioned documentation)

things down but I feel this is really essential.
I for one greatly
benefit
from having every single piece of my code
scrutinized and perfected
before
being consumed by a wider audience. If this is
seen as a barrier, someone
should investigate making it possible to send wiki edits to Gerrit to
simplify that process.
Sending wiki edits to Gerrit for review? Absolutely not.
