Can anyone think of another place a community docs wiki could go at?
CMD will host anything you need.
Basically all it would take to get this off the ground is a host
running PHP 5.0+ and PostgreSQL 8.1+ (with tsearch2) that the
current Mediawiki distribution could be installed into; PHP 5.1 and
PG 8.2 would be preferred. The main install instructions are at
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Installing_MediaWiki and I
know they're good because I fixed the parts that weren't when I
last installed one of these.
The main open question for initial post-install configuration is
how to deal with edit privledges. I think this one would be OK
with letting anyone sign up for an account in an automated way,
rather than requiring a human approval like the Developer's wiki
does, but only allow registered accounts to edit. That will give
some defense against the spammers while not making life difficult
for the person who just wants to submit something at random one day.
Also, a few volunteers to receive notifications of edits for some
basic QA just to make sure that what's added is correct.
