This is an interesting idea. We have help, but only moderators can edit it. We want documentation about the *platform* (as opposed to how *our network* or *particular communities* operate) to end up in the help that is part of the platform repository and seeded to all new communities -- but not everything has to start and end there. I can see community-edited documentation filling a useful role between "you just have to know" and the formal help. New help topics could even emerge from it, community-curated first and thus not requiring as much time from platform developers to create. Meanwhile, other community-curated documentation that doesn't rise to the level of *help* would have a place (though members of other communities would have to know to come to Meta to find it, so it's both more and less visible than help). If we do this, we should use wiki posts, which are like articles but (almost) anybody can edit and there's no voting.
