That would indeed be a key aspect. I've been thinking a combination of:

1. Wiki-like editing

and

2. Automatic mining from things like github/bitbucket/dsource and a standard 
metadata protocol/format (maybe tied into orbit?) that project authors can 
optionally choose to expose.

Actually, having this tied in with orbit somehow would probably be a *very* 
good idea.
