In a nutshell?  A place where someone who wants to submit and article can
do so in < 10 minutes (*including* any markup time).   A place where
someone wanting to translate an article can do it in
point-and-click-and-translate time.  A place where someone can easily
locate the article which covers their problem if it exists.

Barring that, I'm waiting for at least an acknowledgement from you that
there's a direct relationship between easy-to-use and
number-of-contributors.  If you're convinced that there's no relationship
at all, then I don't think we can communicate.

I'm not looking for whizz-bang; in fact, my idea for TechDocs had been to
wait for Gavin to go 1.0 on Framewerk and use that.  It's about as
stripped down as you get on CMS.
