Most of us are diging through documentations day by day and most of the time product vendors dont give their documentations too much love. I can fully understand why this is the case. (1)Docs writing is definitely boring (2)implementing features is cooler and (3)people dont get the needed peer recognition by having good docs.
Because of all that, i am starting to give credit where credit is due. One of the best documentations, especially online, i have ever seen is the MySQL documentation. The search engine is great, the structure is nice and its pretty comprehensive.
