So, in a nutshell: - github for hosting the docs (in a red/documentation repo) - markdown for the initial format (with eventually some additions) - Nim's documentation layout and style
DocKimbel
For the content itself, we need: 1) a user manual (with the same level as the Rebol/Core Manual) 2) a dictionary of the words 3) some tutorials
(1) is the biggest and most important part.

4) a language reference
DocKimbel
You mean a language specification document?
Andreas
Yes. Everything that is not covered by the dictionary.
And stuff at a technical detail that is too much for the user manual.
One of the more important aspects: syntax. But also stuff like: binding, argument passing modes, cor e evaluation semantics.

Language Design/Implementation Reference?
PeterWood
That's a very, very good suggestion Andreas. It won't be easy to write well. Do you think you may have a little time to help with it?
5) a dictionary of values
I always found it strange that the equivalent of the word dictionary for values was hidden away as an appendix in the Rebol user guide. I think such an important aspect of the language needs a more visible presence.
