There's a general lack of good editing and curation systems.  You end
up either going Wiki, which needs to be actively updated and cared for
(most get set up, stuff is thrown up, then they molder into disuse and
have security problems), or the Forum problems as described.

I kinda wish people would blog more - that way they're actively
curating their own content..   It's like the old plan/project files on
oldschool unix where you could get info on what people were using
(even on other systems!) with finger.

All the old timers are still on IRC... just sayin' :)
