It's not a replacement for real documentation (that we're also working
on) but it makes the code much easier to understand. And you don't
have to grep so much, if you see a functions you don't know yet, just
follow a link and see what it does.
I would *much* prefer to see all documentation in the sources. The code needs
to be self-contained and not to web pages someplace. If you print out
a set of files to read on an airplane, for example, you want to have all
the necessary documentation in those files.
