I'm going to ask stupid question regarding this.

If this is going to be a community maintained product, wouldn't it be
better to have a wiki solution for most of the documentation where
everyone could directly help editing it instead of having you as an
intermediate step. You can still have a real web site for the very first
page, but having a wiki in the background which everyone can help edit
and add information to feels like a better long term solution, will be
easier for people to help maintaining it over time and everyone would
feel like they are part of it as they can edit the information
directly.

Or is there a reason you want to have the content on a normal web site
?
Using a wiki is pretty standard among other open source projects as far
as I've seen.

I suggested the same for the FAQ which was created earlier:

Since everything is planned to be non commercial (unless I've missed
something) and Squeezebox related you could even use Logitech's wiki at
http://wiki.slimdevices.com and just link to the page from your front
page if you don't want to setup your own wiki solution. Keeping a backup
of a few pages of the Logitech wiki on nighly bases is easy if you just
want to be sure the information isn't lost if Logitech would suddenly
decide to shut it down. However, if you are unsure about the future of
the Logitech wiki, a separate wiki could make sense.
