In theory yes, but in practice there are some associations:
* Contributors and the docs relevant for them should be in the same place.
* Semantic MediaWiki is required to prototype and implement the features
proposed for contributors in the quickest and simplest way. Unless
someone has a better idea.
* http://mediawiki.org has the docs but not SMW.
* http://wikitech.wikimedia.org has SMW but not the docs.
As far as I can see it is impossible to solve the puzzle without
changing something and upsetting someone. The scenarios are:
1. Move the right content to Wikitech and experiment there with SMW.
When Wikimedia has a better solution, take it.
2. Install SMW in mediawiki.org and experiment there. When Wikimedia has
a better solution, take it.
3. Keep everything as it is. Wait for Wikidata, Flow and Global Profile
to be ready to help us here.
4. Create a new website just for this. :P
If you have a 5th please share it.
3 or 4 would be the usual choices out there. I believe we would be in
trouble with any of both. I'm ambivalent between 1 or 2, only fearing
that having so many strong & opinionated positions we don't end up
trying a 2.5 headed for failure (another usual choice out there).
But I have hope in this discussion and our capacity to end up doing The
Right Thing.
