The truth is that I am all for any tool that allows users to feel like
they are more a part of the process.  I think it is important for
building a community that contributes to the project.

So, great, let's give a wiki a try.  I will add it onto my list of
resources to peruse when looking for documentation information.

Now, if only I was able to build my "documentation" web page on 
gnucash.org, we could *clearly* explain all the various documentation 
options available, including the wiki.  :)

Oh, I do want to address one thing (this has nothing to do with the 
wiki, but I thought I would comment anyway):

This is the issue I hope to address if the documentation team can get 
some read/write space on the web site.  I want users to see the new 
additions to the documentation moments after they are created, hopefully 
while still involved in the discussion that caused the new 
documentation.  In this way, we can get immediate user feedback.
