I remmeber that at least the beginners manual were in a svn repository to which I had write access. I once tried to change the first chapter of the beginner's manual to be more in line with what I thought that a beginner would understand more easily, but then realized that the tone of that chapter different from the rest of the manual: just a differece between Hans' and my writing style. That is always the difficulty with a collaborative documentation. But it will be great if the main manual is updated so that it compiles with current ConTeXt. Also, there needs to be a documentation to tell how to use the existing ConTeXt documentation. I will try to clean up the wiki page sometime next month (sorry no time before that).
