I agree that Python's docs could use improvement, and I love the idea of
using a Wiki for the purpose. But maybe MediaWiki would be a better
choice of software? Dokuwiki's syntax looks foreign and a little bit
intimidating to me, but Wikipedia has made pretty much everyone familiar
with MediaWiki's syntax. Less syntax to learn lowers the cost of entry,
which should lead to more contributors.
