to clarify, I'm advocating maintaining the docs via a restricted wiki-like
system, and using a blog-style discussion board or a wiki to collect non-
specific user commentary.

but it's the combination that really interests me: the ability for users to
propose specific corrections (as patches, at least under the cover), and
for volunteers to apply such patches with a minimum of effort.

more later.
