Yep. That's why a wiki is nice. If you open it up to everyone to contribute, you'll get bad stuff but you'll get good stuff you just wouldn't get otherwise. It's a great format to capture that.
We would use the same system for edit rights that we use now. Make appDB account then ask to be a maintainer then you can edit the wiki page for that app. The wiki is only for application notes. Anyone can read the wiki history. Con: It would be very hard to set up.
Con: Becoming a maintainer is a pain in the backside. You won't get useful drive-by contributions, and a lot of this stuff is drive-by.
Do not cross post or you may up set people with power.
So when we're talking about a service to users, you're saying "God forbid we ask the users"?
