Something we futzed with at Digital Creations was "commentable" or
discussable web pages.  This would be a great use for this.  If you
took and made each basic topic/issue a page, and let people "discuss"
them.  A nice threaded discussion could add a lot of insight.   This
is versus a wiki where it's more "free for all", which isn't really
appropraiate for a "guide".
