Whenever you have an open web page, you end up with spammers trying to create link drops.
Probably a real wiki (with authentication) or even just a special thread on this forum would be better. I believe the better wiki systems track history, so changes can be rolled back when something useful has been overwritten. I feel the github process discourages documentation. The problem is that it's the same system of review for documentation as for code. Which means that you may have to wait a week or so before changes get applied, Sure, CODE needs to be thoroughly vetted so that TW doesn't break. But, unlike code, poor documentation is usually better than NO documentation, and it can be peer-reviewed and tweaked as time goes along. It's an odd quirk of human psychology that people tend to like to correct things that are already in place rather than creating new content in the first place. So getting something in place quickly (even if not 100% perfect) is more important than getting it publisher-ready on the first draft.
