Re: Let's turn off api.plone.org.

I agree with 100% of what you said. I know it is not good, but from time to
time I browse api.plone.org to try to learn something.

I am a newbie programmer, Windows user (bad, bad search tools) and have an
extensive Java background.

This kind of information is what I usually have big trouble finding out.
Sometimes I want to know something about a class or object inherited and
have no idea where I should look.

I am working with Plone for 1.5 years and still have trouble finding
information on classes.

The problem is that since C# (like Java) is static typed, any good IDE can
help you with autocompletion, doc inspection, etc.

With the great powers (given by the dynamic typing of Python) came the great
responsibility (for the library developers to document much more than
application programmers).
