If we are going to do that, we should really just dust off stackoverflow.com.
Most of the wikitext and javascript related questions could easily be moved
there. More community-related questions such as suggestions and
philosophical think-tank type discussions would continue to happen here. So
would plugin and software announcements. Plus they have a really good chat
room setup that works very well for this type of thing. If comments start
getting into a discussion, the system suggests moving the whole
conversation to a dedicated chat room, which is very nice. There are also
some simple things that can be done with the tags.

Then I think we should open the Github wiki for anyone to contribute to,
assuming of course that it has a revision history so we can rollback
malicious or mistaken edits.  I don't think we have to worry much about
spam. On the other hand, we should really be using Wikibooks or any one of
the other publicly available services besides GitHub to compile
information.

Wikibooks is actually really good for that type of thing and has several
software communities on it already. The nice thing about Wikibooks is that
because the Mediawiki software it runs on is so popular, we can easily
export it to other formats and do a ton of other stuff with it. But it
doesn't have to be Wikibooks. There are plenty of places that support
Markdown as well as other formats. And it wouldn't actually be that hard to
modify TiddlyWiki to be a single-page app that displays one page at a time
or load tiddlers directly from the server in a sort of static format but
which could also be edited directly and saved back to the server like
MediaWiki. It would even be possible for MediaWiki to be the backend and
TiddlyWiki to be the frontend. But better to have TiddlyWiki on the backend
serving static pages and just add a couple tweaks to allow for the massive
multiuser headache that is created when you try to mimic Wikipedia.

Just my thoughts at 2 AM.
