The wiki is certainly "a place" that can be used for this but the wiki

Well this is a community. The hope would be that the community would
step up. As a proposer (and writer) I am certainly willing to participate.

I don't think this is nearly as difficult except if we create artificial
barriers to contribution (writing in the wiki is a highly subpar
experience).

So some of this could be original content, some of it could just be
links to various blogs/articles that already exist and some could be
maintenance. However, I see maintenance as a secondary issue because we
would publish based on version. If someone wrote an article for 9.6 it
may or may not apply for 11 but that doesn't matter. People are always
generating new content.
