When I suggested wiki myself, I received this answer...
http://www.mail-archive.com/openssl-users@openssl.org/msg69232.html
Anyway, the doc is not so bad : I use only openssl command line for some
ca scripts of my own,
and they are working...I learnt from the doc, and some doc in apache docs.
But to improve it, at least we should know ...who is in charge of
it,..and what is the present process of writing it.
Could the doc be managed as the code, by a kind of cvs system ?
Or synchronized with it by extracting comments ? something I dislike
because documenting the code of something is not the same thing as
documenting what this code is useful for (specs),
nor how to use it (user's manual)..and the code is not at all the right
place to put doc that overcome its purpose,
and that should exist before the code is written...
I guess that people have more problems with the lib doc: I do not use
the lib, but I can suggest, for the online man pages,
to add, to each command page, the last date of update,
and the VERSIONS of openssl that are compatible with the doc.
The java doc is a good example of what I have in mind.

It would be great to see a wiki site of OpenSSL, like:
https://wiki.openssl.org/
Then helpful, experienced and knowledgeable users can
contribute and help each-others.

Since the quality of OpenSSL documentation, and the
ease of contributing to it, has been a subject of
discussion on both the openssl-users list and the
cryptography list in the past few months, and since the
only commercial book on OpenSSL is over a decade old
now, I thought it would be worthwhile to start an
OpenSSL wikibook:
https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/OpenSSL
All I have in place right now is a skeleton of a table
of contents, but I'm hoping that OpenSSL users will
contribute to the book in their areas of expertise, or
as they learn new things that they wish had been
documented.
