The documentation of a lot of projects is really bad, I know, and something is needed to improve it.
I think though the efforts spent on duplicating documentation on SO is just wasted: why don't you contribute back to the canonical one? Usually maintainers are just happy to merge new documentation chapters or examples.
- Flimm 10y agoJust editing something on Stack Overflow is much quicker than git cloning something, figuring out the documentation build that they have, editing, issuing a pull request, watching that pull request linger for ages, get a nit-picking comment, fix it, watch it linger for ages, and then finally merged, but not released, and then waiting for ages for the release. Obviously, sometimes the experience is better than that, and sometimes it's worse, but SO Q&A is much more consistent and immediate, and I imagine SO Docs will be as well.
