[wp-docs] Leveraging the forum

Regarding leveraging the forums, I collect fodder for future
documentation from the forums at a sub page of my user page[1]. Would
it be useful if we had a page in the main namespace, where people
could add forums nuggets that other could then attempt to make docs
out of? I am talking about some most useful info in the forums that
one discovers from time to time.
I am all for creating such a page.

Say, why don't we grow our Codex organically, starting from the front
page. We could have an outline of what needs to be on the wiki, at one
level, with links to pages that probably don't exist yet, and the
linked-to pages can have yet more links and so forth. I beleive that
this was the motivation behind the new wiki in the first place - to
have well-organized docs. We could iterate, and brainstorm for about a
week, on the wiki, to arrive at a sufficiently detailed main page, and
take it from there.
