How about OpenStreetBugs (http://openstreetbugs.schokokeks.org/)? Encourage people to add details of errors and omissions that they have noticed that they can't or don't know how to fix. Then encourage everyone else to take a look there from time to time and fix the things they can. I sometimes use OpenStreetBugs to leave notes for myself. I will make a note of something to do later, then, later, I can go and fix it, or maybe someone else had time to do it instead.
