Now here's a suggestion! Wikis are ideally suited to a community such  
as Stata users, whose accumulated expertise could be brought to bear  
in a format that would allow collaboration, updating and organisation.

As an occasional Wikipedian, I can vouch for the ease with which  
users can learn to contribute, and the value of a medium which allows  
you to have both the current page and the underlying discussion  
between the contributors visible.
