Hopefully the pdpedia will spur the creation of better help patches.   
I certainly hope the pdpedia does not replace the effort to make  
better help patches, I don't think that's anyone's intention.  The  
core idea of the pdpedia is that it's a place where the community can  
easily contribute.

Plus I think it will be very helpful to get the documentation  
translated into other languages.  Then we don't have to wait for  
localized comment support.

If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of  
exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an  
idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps  
it to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into  
the possession of everyone, and the receiver cannot dispossess  
himself of it.            - Thomas Jefferson
