And the solution would be to sit and scroll through hundreds of
forums posts?
Sorry, I've seen this attempt to handle these things before and
it doesn't work. Mailing lists aren't perfect either but they
are better. But the best thing in my opinion is edited
FAQs/tutorials etc ... unfortunately they come with a price,
some people has to do the editing and it takes time and effort.
Letting anyone edit the pages? Of course ... but my experience
is that the quality/structure of the pages deteriorates over
time (on the other hand, having a group of editors have the risk
of them losing interest in doing the edits)
