Rick Ross and Matt, IM'd me awhile back. They sent me www.jdocs.com.
I checked it out, and at first wondered why they were sending me a link to a page of JavaDocs :)
They then explained that the site is 100% dynamic, and it allows you to comment on parts of the documentation. This is quite cool. Normally javadoc is such a static beast, yet now someone can say "Hey, although it says to do this, I always do Y". If the community gets behind it then it can grow and become a great wealth of knowledge.
As it is, we are seeing just the beginning. More and more features will be added, such as rich personalization.... and the ability to download a snapshot (so you can use the docs locally when on a plane!).
This is interesting stuff, and I hope it grows. The JavaLobby guys definitely have their hearts in the right place, so this should go well for them!
Check out: jdocs.com, and let them know what cool features they should implement :)
