IMO, the standard way would be to subscribe to mailing list, ask for
a web (changer/user or whatelse) account and contribute in
documenting as we can do using a wiki, but sure that who wants to help
can see it work without spam or sure that there's (hopefully) no need
to check every minute someone has added "not conventional" pages,
let's say "OT".

I'm not against wiki, I really love it if used by users really involved.
But in my experience, in our lug, we had to remove a lot of "spammed" pages
and to roll back other ones. And note that no one but subscribed people can
work on our wiki.

If you believe in digikam (I'm quite sure kipi-plugins can't) has someone who
can maintain that, go on. And if someone wants to add kipi & co. info as well,
great. In such a case I hope someone can add (or link) that info into kipi site. 

I'd like only to say be careful...
