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 (
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.
