I'll do, as I am his brother. :-)
A free-for-all wiki will soon end up in maintenance hell, or otherwise
with
lovely spam of all sorts. Forcing registration here would be a not-so-
cool
solution to this problem.

I had the idea to use the same development model which is used for
erlware's
code base.
For more information on that one, read the section "The Development
Model"
under: 
http://erlangish.blogspot.com/2007/10/erlware-and-git-development-model.html
In short: Contributors clone the documentation-repo, make local
changes until they're
happy and then send a patch to a separate erlyweb-docs-mailinglist.

I'd like to give some more info on what maddiin wrote here:

Take a look at the docs of the djangoproject, where they use such an
approach.
Here's an example:
http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/cache/

This is the corresponding source code of this piece of documentation
(written in restructured text):
http://code.djangoproject.com/svn/django/trunk/docs/cache.txt

And here's the code they use for building web pages from the source
code:
http://code.djangoproject.com/svn/djangoproject.com/django_website/apps/docs/

Kind Regards,
Chris
