Ever met a developer who likes writing doc? :)
and a lot of the docs have never been read by a
developer. That being
said, using FlaggedRevs we might be able to deliver more solid docs
on
MW.org by flagging docs at like two levels. One could be like a basic
"has been looked over for glaring errors and basic readability" and
a second could be "has been thoroughly reviewed and is considered
the doc on the given subject."
Perhaps we could start by getting developers to thoroughly review documentation?
You're proposing a technical solution to a people problem. The problem
is not that the site can't display the fact that a developer vouches
for the quality of documentation. The problem is that there are no
processes for getting developers to review documentation and vouch for
it.
