There is a difference between open source and proprietary software in that the references will be most valuable if they are community-oriented rather than company-oriented. If you are developing in Visual Studio and WebSphere, you won't find a single location for information, although each individual resource will be very deep.
I don't blame the OSDN for not providing this particular service, particularly since projects like the Linux Documentation Project already fill this purpose. And this site in particular is branded as the news source of ercord for Linux and open source, so product documentation and tutorials would be out of place.
It is a bit jarring when you're used to a resource like msdn, though.
