An error occurred while saving the comment Also, as an informatics guy, I really hate forums. They are a crappy kludge of email BBS that don't surface the appropriate information. An immense amount of a new person's time is wasted searching for information and regular member's time is wasted answering questions that have already been asked.
GetSatisfaction has a really awesome (but expensive) workflow that surfaces answers to poster's questions before they are asked, etc. Even if it's not GSFN, a regular forum is only good for die-hards- so you might as well just create a separate Google group and QA site.
That being said, I also ran into weirdness recently with the course schema, the XML, the official spec, and the production code were different because of a bug in producing the XML sample. The documentation itself should have wiki functionality so those sorts of things can be noted.
An error occurred while saving the comment I would go with GitHub because it will continue to evolve without UW leadership. It will also be more accessible to non-programmers.

An error occurred while saving the comment I think the poster had originally envisioned some sort of registration service, although automatic linking of semantic info from authored papers would be helpful. Personally, I am just finding people in the sociology department who are working in the same area I work in over in the psychology department.

You can *almost* just break down the URL's, but they have funky end numbering that is non-obvious.
However, the class listings have links that would be easy to parse:
"History - General HSTEU 552 A James Felak Professor WI11"
The contents are very xpath friendly as well.
