I don't think it would be hard to write a script to compile it
depending on what's been modified. Then it shouldn't take more than a
few seconds to generate html for one or two changed files. It could
either do it dynamically, or once a day or something. The system could
be built into a nice interface with several features.
I would propose things such as:
- Keyword database for searches. We could even have an xmlrpc script
to complete people's searches as they type them (like Google suggest).
- Either an editable content area on each page (wiki-style) or user
comment posting
- Ability to put a function under one or more categories, and the
ability to have categories inside other categories.
- List functions by file / directory.

I have done a lot of php programming, I might be able to help make
such a system. Is there much interest in something like this?
