TDN will launch without a whole ton of content in there, but with a pretty nice foundation laid for people to jump in there and start cranking away on it. Part of the reason TDN is so cool is that *everyone* can contribute to it. So, Matt's great docs, the stuff Hans posted above, etc, etc can all go in one place that's searchable, organized, and that everyone knows about. It's going to be very cool, and will help relieve many of the problems Alex is talking about. I'm extremely excited!

As Josh said everyone can contribute to it, thats another reason why I like this thread and people sharing what would really help them, hopefully when it fires up and theres something you've learned and accomplished that isn't covered on it then you can post it to help fellow T2Ders :) Since everyone here is always very supportive it will be great so see how quickly the T2D TDN will grow.

Can't wait until this is available. It would be great to have all of the T2D functions/features in a format similar to php.net where you can look up a specific command and then have comments/examples/caveats from other developers underneath it.

I would also like to see customer bounties... I.E. an SDK owner could offer cash reward for some work done by other in
community or even GG staff. The reason I ask about it in a TDN post is because of how the TSE GG bounties are being done (slick).

I am looking forward to TDN. There is a ton of information that gets buried in the forums, and it's sometimes hard to extract it. The Google mini helps a lot with this, but it would be nice if we had an actual, honest-to-God code/example repository. Yes, I know about code snippets/resources, but they tend to age rather rapidly. There's a lot in there that's old, old, old and sometimes even plain wrong. At least with a wiki-style system, older articles can be supplimented by newer ones. Or even better, incomplete examples fleshed out into more detail.
