Coming soon: faster API.drupal.org with comments
One of the common requests for API.drupal.org is comments, like PHP has. With some help from chx, this is finally almost a reality. But I need your help; this uses a new single sign-on system and has a number of changes throughout the module.
I have been focusing on making the site faster. The auto-complete works at the speed of JavaScript, not AJAX. Short URLs, like http://api.drupal.org/hook_menu will work. OpenSearch plugins work with your browser.
If you have a few minutes, take an early look at the changes and make sure everything works before this all goes live.
Here is Drupal’s doc comment coverage:

Except for the lack of objects, doing relatively well, but there are a few undocumented files:

I like it, it's fast indeed :p
This is *so* cool. Honestly, for anyone past the total-newbie stage this is probably one of the single best things to happen for Drupal support/documentation in a long time, maybe ever. Looking forward to contributing many (hopefully) helpful comments...
Awesome!!
Is it already live? Just tested it and it looks like it =)
Yes, soft launch.
It looks great! Thanks for the work.
Have you done a write-up on this at all, or do you intend to? I'd really like to know how you got the javascript autocomplete to be so blazing fast!
I am working on a write-up, but that part is simple: don’t use AJAX. Going to the server is incredibly slow. Our data is small enough to all fit in a single JSON download.
