Yah, I agree. Our wiki is open and ready for you all to help on this. If you take a first quick stab, ill follow up.
Generally, anything where community ppl get active will get more of my attention And help me to promote throughout cc.

It would be good to dream up how to support this :) I'd guess the plan for something like Google Code is fairly simple- they've currently got a radiobox for licenses, right, which says something like 'license for the project.' Make that list 'license for the project's code', and once that is selected, provide a list of compatible licenses for non-code contributions (which probably should include 'we haven't thought about this yet/whatever those contributors want to use', or something similar.) > Oh know, a universe of per-document licenses :) Best practices for code does include licenses in the headers/metadata of every file, so that if they become separated from the 'body' of the code, they still carry their licensing information with them. I assume the same would be true for other documents. It might be nice, actually, for CC and FSF to collaborate on publishing a document on licensing best-practices for open content. (Is there a less passive word than 'content' which encompasses both 'content' (art/documentation/etc.) and code?)
