Yes I definitely agree with that. The php documentation is excellent, it 
is a great example of good documentation. So that counters my assertion 
that great documentation is not within reach for FOSS software - allow 
me to change it to 'out of reach for most software'. Don't forget that 
PHP has a very large and active documentation team.
Anyway, a wiki-ish documentation annotation system like PHP has would be 
great for gtkmm documentation. There is software to do that available on 
http://webnotes.futureware.biz/. I'm not sure how hard it would be to 
adapt it to make it work with the gtkmm doxygen/docbook-generated pages.
