These are "type of site" specific -- a brochure site might have the  
consultant as admin, and a limited set of contributor tasks for the  
clients that actually use the site.

I *would* love to see this sort of information, it's just NOT  
official, set in stone documentation per-se...but rather, tips,  
guidelines, and one particular way of doing things....which is super  
useful, but is not the same as documentation IMHO.

Again my plea is to turn on the "story" node type and have this type  
of info be able to be submitted by anyone, go into a submission queue  
and get approved. We'd have a nice, categorized archive (free  
tagging, of course, perhaps with some additional "big buckets" like  
Tips, Best Practices, Recipes, Case Studies, Official News, etc.) and  
a way for anyone to get exposure by writing good content.
