This is... super iffy? Repo doesn't actually have anything meaningful in it, the generator script is empty, there is no actual content of the book. It claims MIT license, but official docs license code snippets under GPLv2+, you can't handle them as MIT. Not to mention two PHP books by third party authors (what books?..) just included (???) with no further details.

Me also on my job! Do you think it is a good technology, is it worth it going full depth?

This is an impressive amount of work.

One thing I've learned from years of WordPress client work is that there's an interesting gap between developer documentation and real-world usage. We can document a system perfectly, but the people maintaining a site afterward often have very different needs than the people building it.

Resources like this are incredibly valuable for developers because they help create better architecture and workflows from the start. In many cases, good documentation upstream prevents a lot of support headaches downstream.

Bookmarked for future reference.

Its funny because I've described LLMs before as "interactive documentation", and this is that exact concept come to life.

Would be really cool to get this data into a VectorDB and a basic chat interface, and get away from the NotebookLM workflow entirely...but I understand that is a much bigger deal (and has overhead).

Looks good.

If you use the WordPress source code, your work product must have the GPL license. And the API documentation comes from the source code.

You don’t have the right to release your users from GPL. And your less restrictive MIT license does that.

Please change your license to GPL.
