Just the same way things work now except that there would be less

Just like how people use Google instead of asking about something on a
mailing list... ;-)
Google is about as far from a specifically collated and indexed set of
information as you can get. If you don't already almost know what you
are looking for you are going to have a hard time sorting it out. And
worse, old, incorrect information never dies there. A mail list
provides timely/dated information but the questions and incorrect
responses make it difficult to find the existing content. A wiki takes
a little extra effort to maintain, but allows each person who uses the
content to tweak it for correctness and their use cases.
