I prefer a read-only page to a wiki for this kind of thing.  The
presentation and interface can be tuned, it becomes a specific Ruby
reosurce, which it deserves, and it preserves the original content for
posterity.

The gains made from accepting help in the task of preparing RWN would
be outweighed by the losses incorporated in coordingating those
contributions, IMO.  In other words, preparing RWN is a lot of work,
and there's not much anyone can do about that.

Indeed; it's a blessing.
