[opencms-dev] Wiki for OpenCms documentation

[Ron Wheeler]

If you can figure out how to open up parts the current OpenCMS system to 
a few vetted collaborators, perhaps you can get some unpaid help in 
improving the documentation.
People are writing some good stuff and perhaps if you could figure out 
how to get them on to parts of your site, they might be happier adding 
their contributions to the OpenCMS basic documentation.
