right -- without an interested/active maintainer, i find wikis to
be more promise than content.  there's not enough structure.

i'd prefer something like a wiki, but more structured, something,
say, with dedicated FAQ and HOWTO sections that could be edited
easily, with automatic indexing and search capabilities.  something
like faq-o-matic, which is where i first saw the concept in action:

i'm sure there are others.
