Sorry for double mail; Can we imagine a search motor that can look into : 1 - The mailing lists where users can ask questions 2 - The main forums 3 - The main site with documentation (mediawiki.org and sites such as semantic-mediawiki) 4 - ...

Google can does 2 and 3, I don't know about 1.

There is also layers that goes more work than a simple personalised google.

What about a search motor wich can find information into thoose mailings ? This is not a "solution" but this is a way to make the users able to find information.

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.
