For casual contributors, we could provide ikiwiki instance and pull from it 
periodically. I guess it can also be set up so that someone is notified when 
there's a new commit. Thus for people who want to see the latest official/vetted 
documentation, we have 1 branch/repo, and for people who want to edit/see 
staging area, we have another. Could this be a viable workflow?
