Hi all,

I've been in half a dozen conversations recently about whether to have a
wiki and what to use it for. Some things I've heard:

 - "why is all this stuff that users don't care about here?"
 - "can we have a lighter weight place to put technical references for
contributors"

So I want to consider as a community starting up our wiki. Ideas for what
could go there:

 - Collection of links to design docs like
https://beam.apache.org/contribute/design-documents/
 - Specialized walkthroughs like
https://beam.apache.org/contribute/docker-images/
 - Best-effort notes that just try to help out like
https://beam.apache.org/contribute/intellij/
 - Docs on in-progress stuff like
https://beam.apache.org/documentation/runners/jstorm/
 - Expanded instructions for committers, more than
https://beam.apache.org/contribute/committer-guide/
 - BIPs / summaries of collections of JIRA
 - Docs sitting in markdown in the repo like
https://github.com/apache/beam/blob/master/sdks/CONTAINERS.md and
https://github.com/apache/beam-site/blob/asf-site/README.md (which will
soon not be a toplevel README)

What do you think?

(a) should we do it?
(b) what should go there?
(c) what should not go there?
