The wiki is certainly "a place" that can be used for this but the wiki 
takes a lot of effort to find things on it, manage it etc...

Well this is a community. The hope would be that the community would 
step up. As a proposer (and writer) I am certainly willing to participate.

I don't think this is nearly as difficult except if we create artificial 
barriers to contribution (writing in the wiki is a highly subpar 
experience).

So some of this could be original content, some of it could just be 
links to various blogs/articles that already exist and some could be 
maintenance. However, I see maintenance as a secondary issue because we 
would publish based on version. If someone wrote an article for 9.6 it 
may or may not apply for 11 but that doesn't matter. People are always 
generating new content.
