The last thing I want to read in a language's documentation is an 
ill-informed and sometimes interminable argument about a particular feature.

For documentation I'm all in favor of user contributions, but I believe 
an editorial process is required to ensure readability. I am aware that 
the documentation isn't perfect but it's pretty good, and I don't think 
throwing it open to anyone (including, by the way, web spammers) to add 
to it is necessarily  the best way to improve it.
