Well, not really, for better or worse. Each release, we take the comments and
either fold them into the main documentation or delete them. So
the "interactive" feature is more of an easier way to submit additions or
corrections; it is not meant to add a user-edited extra dimension to the
documentation material.

The well-hidden techdocs section of the web site is supposed to allow users to
submit tips, articles, and the like, but I'm not sure how accessible that is.
