The Documentation

Perhaps it's a good idea to "take a page from" the PHP doc:

http://us.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-info.php

It's like a wiki, where there's the "official" explanation at the  
top, then a lot of very helpful examples, code snippets and comments  
below from the community on each page.

I could whip something like this up in a few hours or so that would  
be ready to add comments to.
