Brian,
I think this is an excellent idea. As I've taught myself the FuseBox
techniques there hasn't been any one place to go for reference. I get part
from Steve's book, part from the PowerPoint presentations at Fusebox.org,
part from the tutorials on Hal's site and part from this list. Since
everyone does things somewhat differently, it has taken me a while to put
together a package that works. It took me several days to get Steve's
app_login example app to work to my satisfaction because it was incomplete
and I had to reverse engineer the missing pieces.
A Wiki type implementation on the site, accessible by 10-12 of the primary
participants would give us some good documentation without putting a lot of
burden on any one person.
I don't know about how others feel but I would gladly pay a fee to access a
site where I can see examples of well-documented code, grab code samples,
and generally do my job faster and better.

Subject: RE: Where do I find the new FuseBox documentation?
Other than the archives of this list there really is no one place to find
all of the recent ideas documented. IMO Fusebox.org does not do a very good
job of keeping up to date on all the new stuff. This is probably because
Steve thinks he has better things to do with his time (like getting his new
design tool up!).
What if we used the Portland Pattern Repository's Wiki (or a Fuseboxed
version of it) to build a better structured documentation of the more
concrete FB ideas.
I posted a brief entry for FuseBox:
http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?FuseBox
It took about 2 minutes and anyone can come along behind me and edit the
document, add new documents, link to existing documents (go ahead, try it!).
Check out the link to ExtremeProgramming and the hundreds of documents
linked to it. Just think if FuseBox had a single body of work that
extensive.
Maybe this isn't the best answer for us but I do think more formal
documentation on the newer FB concepts is needed. And we do have the
technology to collaborate on this so it doesn't all rest on the shoulders of
three or four people.
Any thoughts?
