I think a wiki would help with the user submitted documentation, or
lack thereof.  For example I could submit a howto on building
templates, and creating a grouped dashboard, complete with screen
shots.  I could also post a howto on setting up read-only & read-write
access in parallel.

I'd be willing to host a wiki on my server if you would prefer not to
host it yourself.
