From Documentation:

Novel in S2 is the idea of providing documentation for a class, method, function or property directly within the source code, separate (machine-distinguishable) from conventional comments. Small strings of explanatory text can be added after the header of a class, method, function or property, and they can be used to generate documentation.

This is not "novel". Python, elisp, etc. all support docstrings. zenned 02:07, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Not Unique to LiveJournal

"The S2 system is, at its heart, completely general and can be used for almost any web application; however there exists no documentation for the implementation of S2 within other applications, which ties it relatively closely to LiveJournal."

This statement is not entirely true, though I haven't thought of a good way to rephrase it. LiveJournal is a service and an application; S2 is used by another Danga project/product called FotoBilder. The LiveJournal site has its own FotoBilder running called 'ScrapBook', but FotoBilder itself is actually separate from and independent of the LiveJournal app. S2-for-FotoBilder also runs on the not-yet-launched PicPix site. PicPix is/was meant to be the independent counterpart to ScrapBook. At any rate, it's not implemented solely within LiveJournal, but obviously I have difficulty succinctly describing its relationship to FotoBilder. :) --Melissa Della 18:07, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
