Documentation would be great. We could work something out to make it easy to contribute. Maybe a wiki.

I don't have much experience of working with a Wiki. I have worked with one based on Mediawiki but I found that unecessarily complicated for the purpose for which it was created with a lot of techniques to learn that didn't imitate BBCode or other systems I was used to.

I think it should be possible to use Nabble and create "Discussion" sub-forums for each area/page to which anyone can post questions and suggested changes in wording and keep editing the main pages limited to a few trusted editors. That way there is nothing new to learn.

I must make time to see how I could combine Nabble's existing documentation with the stuff on my GregHelp forum.
