Replying to myself...
Until there is a central location where anyone can contribute, and
they get full attribution for their contributions (as opposed to
editing an article with someone else's name as the "author") - I
suspect this problem won't get any better.
This is what makes wikipedia work. People can write large amounts of
documentation and feel good about it - *anyone* can see their efforts
in the history, or even query what a given user has contributed.
This is also how source control works - you can very easily see
everyone who has touched a given file, and you can find out every file
that someone has touched.
This is what makes it work guys, you can tell me I'm wrong, but I know
because it's how I feel about myself.
