http://docs.openlayers.org/ is an attempt at more prose documentatin,
combining things that were originally in the Wiki with new dcumentation
and so on. Developing more documentatino in the wiki is reasonable, but
I think that docs.openlayers.org should be the permanant location of
book-like material, which is why I'ev spent a couple dozen hours of my
'free' time on it. If people don't like the way that site looks, then
commenting now is a great idea so that I can top spending time on it.
