Google doctype: What do you want to know today?
Doctype Google is the new ambitious project by Google. It is an attempt to create a free technical encyclopedia for CSS, HTML and DOM. It consists of not only from the articles, it has also the code of the encyclopedia freely accessible. As in the Google video presentation the saying goes, “Google doctype is an encyclopaedia, by the developers and for the developers”.
Although there are a few articles and HowTo’s there, I am sure that Google can find many motivated supporters which will constantly fill the encyclopedia with new knowledge. Anyone who has a google account can participate.
Whether Google Doctype could be a competitor to selfhtml.org? At the moment it is still difficult to say, but the themes are very close to each other. It is important that selfhtml is only in the German language very detailed. The English version and also those in other languages, are less complete.
Therefore, I can say that Google Doctype could not be described as comptetitor for selfhtml.org, it is a device to close the knowledge gap. Previously you had to browse through various sources to find an answer for your question, today, thanks to projects such as Google and Wikipedia, the knowledge in consolidated in a few sources. This saves time and time is money.
