can we please get a wiki for preview package docs?

Can we please get an official web-editable-wiki for preview package docs like DOTS?

It’s just silly that the docs are so non-existent, and yet we can’t web-wiki edit a reasonable set of them… I mean, i get not having wiki on official actually useful docs… but on this?

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.collections@0.4/api/Unity.Collections.NativeMultiHashMap-2.html

The issue is that this documentation is generated automatically by DocFX based on the comment in the source code so any edit done on that would be overriden in the next version.

One could create a stand alone comunity wiki and copy paste this to add the desired infos but it would most likely fall out of date quickly and become a mess of inacurate information.

For me the best ressource remains this forum. The search tools is not perfect but google does a good job of indexing the forum thread when you are looking for something specific.

Other that that the best thing to do IMO is to look regularly at the forum and keep a bookmark on post/thread that treat topic you are interested in or plan to use in the future. I kept some related to animation and audio eventhough I’m far for reaching that yet in my projects.

FYI there is a community wiki started (v bare bones): Home · DOTS-Discord/Unity-DOTS-Discord Wiki · GitHub
Practically right now I would recommend a combination of checking out the source and heading over to the Unity discord DOTS channel (+ forum as mentioned).
