[documentation] [Documentation feature] Proposal: How to get more people involved with documentation

[Charlie Lowe]

I've been trying to figure out why we are still discussing some of this. 
Seems like the consensus has recently been to open editing book pages 
for everyone and we discussed it last fall and the overall consensus 
seemed to be the same then. Are we waiting for 4.8 for some reason?
