I have also made nice experiences with MediaWiki/WikiPedia.
However, I think while you can include images on MediaWiki pages,
you cannot include documents (like ps or pdf) - these have to be
external links. Of course, the possibility of including such documents
would be a desirable feature for a system of Haskell documentation
pages. Perhaps it is not too difficult to add this feature for
a MediaWiki expert?

Sorry to intrude myslf like this in the conversation.
First of all, let me present myself: My name is Andrea Sassanelli, and
I'm Italian. I have just started studying Haskell at the UoEdinburgh
this year, and immediatelly fell in love with it.
On a sidenote, the wikipedia does rely on moderators who review the
changes, but common users are able to undo changes as well, and can
therefore bring a maliciously messed up page back to it's origiinal
state. Basically MediaWiki/WikiPedia rely on the assumption that there
are more good folk than bad folk, and this (IMHO) should be even more
true in the case of a relatvelly "medium/small-scale" thing like the
Haskell Documentation (small compared to a whole encyclopedia, i mean).
Open documentation like this is definitelly a good idea to make the
language docs not only more accessible, but also more user-friendly, and
would surely give a positive image to the community as a whole.
I unfortunatelly am not suted (?yet?) to work on any usefull
documentation, as I am a novice, but I think the system would work.
