doctype - Google Code

Google Doctype is, in Mark Pilgrim's own words, "an encyclopedia for web developers by web developers." Looks very cool. There are several parts to this.

The first is using the wiki component of Google code hosting to document the Web (document from the developer's perspective). It's like Wikipedia just for web development. The second part is a library of JavaScript, CSS, and HTML reference code, largely a set of tests. It does include "goog" which looks to be a JavaScript library akin to YUI or mootools. Also, I was struck by Mark Pilgrim calling himself a "technical writer" in the Doctype video I just watched.

There's a lot to use and understand here, and I'm only just beginning to read through all this. (Via Simon Willison.)

Watching Mark's video on this now, and it seems goog is the actual library that gets compiled and used in Google apps like Gmail.
