What is the problem with fpdoc ? It has all this ?

The only thing that is missing is the ability to let people create/modify
fpdoc entries over the web. This can be easily written, it is somewhere in
my todo list. If that particular item is moved up in the priority list
you can dump the wiki and have ready-help with the possibility for end-users
to contribute.
