I love community / croudsourcing.  But where it falls down in most of the 
examples I've seen is that the majority of the feedback / comments really 
belong as edits to the actual content, not additional notes.  We need to 
aim for making both happen, imho.  Allow ad-hoc extra feedback, but also 
get it cycled into the core page contents.

The current separate wiki pages that mirror the dlang site are the worse 
of both worlds in that the content exists, is hardly ever folded in, and 
isn't even visible along side the page but hidden off behind a link that I 
bet most people never even see.

Thoughts?
