I think it would be ideal to provide the documentation on the web as now, but linking to wikified talk pages. Something like Wikipedia, (since MediaWiki was brought up) but perhaps with restricted write access to the "feature" pages, and public access to "talk" pages. The "feature" pages could easily(?) be kept in DocBook, if that makes it easier for producing printed copy etc. I don't know about the technical side, and my experience isn't all that wide, but I find I really like the look and feel of Wikipedia compared to other wikis.
Hmm, MediaWiki already supports the concept of discussion pages. But I doubt that it's a good thing to maintain DocBook sources via a wiki. One reason is that you might get into conflicts with wiki syntax. Perhaps a darcs repository would be more appropriate here? But in general I kind of like the wiki approach. Maybe not for everything (for instance, not for the GHC documentation's DocBook sources) but for most of what's currently the Haskell website.
