For example, if all the haddocks on hackage.org were a wiki, and interlinked, every single package author would benefit, as would all users.

You mean, everyone should be able to mess about with my documentation? This would be similar to give everyone commit rights to my repositories or allow everyone to edit the code of my published libraries. What is the good thing about that?

The fact that you can mark a revision to be the official one and, in case you e.g. have a wiki yourself, disable the hackage wiki?

What do you mean by ___disabling the Hackage wiki___?

Well, disabling the wiki function of the documentation on hackage and redirect to somewhere else, instead. The point is that it's certainly possible to have some maintainer-guaranteed integrity and the possibility of low-barrier contributions at the same time. -- (c) this sig last receiving data processing entity.
