[wp-docs] Docs management/Wiki

[Matthew Mullenweg]

Hey guys I'll put up a wiki this evening.

Cena, while we may have WP running parts of the docs section, and 
definitely the tutorials section, we should have a wiki for developing 
documentation because:

* It's easy for anyone to edit, without registration etc.
* It tracks changes.

I'll send a post to the dev list when it's up.
