I think you're talking about a different kind of "how to" question. End users should go to a place like help.openstreetmap.org to ask questions about how to accomplish certain tasks. Developers and those who want to create their own instance of iD should go to the issue tracker. Your example about customization is a perfect issue to create, because it means there's a lack of documentation, and creating an issue will bring it the attention of developers who can then add the missing documentation. -Josh
