</div></div>A couple of years ago I decided to do pretty much this — create<br>
up-to-date comprehensive documentation for Parsec. Unfortunately, the<br>
project turned out too ambitious for me at the time. The only part of it<br>
that I've finished is published as this SO answer:<br>
<a href="http://stackoverflow.com/a/6040237/110081" target="_blank">http://stackoverflow.com/a/6040237/110081</a><br>
<br>
Of course, SO answers are not a substitute for good documentation, but<br>
they are a good way to start, and you can later merge those answers into<br>
something more coherent. So this is one way you approach it — just<br>
publish the knowledge you've acquired as self-answered questions on SO.<br>

<br></div><div class="gmail_extra">But I just don't understand why such a basic thing as live community-hub for a project (github page would be enough for this) is so hard to create. I'm also not saying I would write a lot of docs, but at least making them more "up to date" doesn't look as too ambitious task.<br>
