It's not a true Wiki, although I hope to add more and more
functionality over time. See http://db.linuxdoc.org and look for your
record in the maintainers list, then send me your desired usename and
password (and maintainer_id, which you'll see on the maintainer page),
and I will give you write access.
Right now only you (and admins of course) can make any changes. But
any registered user can write "notes" on the document. There's also a
"tickle date" function, so you can have reminders of things that need
to be done on a document.

You could use the note field for that.

No, because it is not for general use, but for authors, for now.
Eventually you will have the option of opening it up fo
help/discussion/etc. from others. How that will work is still not
established definitely.
