Sorry, clumsy wording on my part.

I prefer not to mix developer/project-facing material and user-facing material 
on the same wiki, because it is difficult enough to maintain a consistent voice 
for the user-facing material.  Also, users should be able to easily subscribe 
to and make additions to the user-oriented wiki without contending with the 
project-oriented organization.  

That was my thinking.

Yes. "Online" help (that is, the application help) is a module
in the source tree (helpcontent2) and under Oracle Copyright.
I guess it was part of the bits donated to Apache?

One for contributors (project planning, drafts, developer docs
+ guidelines) one for consumers (user manuals, online help,
training, tutorials).

I'm sorry but I don't think that I get your point here.
