The link part is easy - cmd-6 (on Mac, alt-6 on win32 and probably  
*nix) in a text editor opens a menu with several options including 'be  
a web URL link' so that you can include a link within comments. It  
also has linking to other methods, class comments etc.

Duane Maxwell tried to encourage just such an idea a few years ago and  
even set up a domain for it. I don't recall many people making the  
effort to provide any content. We don't even need a new site though;  
what is wrong with providing the doc on the swiki and linking to it?
