MediaWiki, alas, "ships" with a blank Help namespace. I'm hoping, myself, that we can at some point start shipping with content; alas, most of it needs to be rewritten and released under the GPL or a compatible license, so that it can be included with the software.

Anyone else want to give a hand sorting out some documentation? Ought we to get a few people from the main projects involved writing it, perhaps?
I noticed that mediawiki ships with a lot of holes in it. I would have expected the excellent online docs to either be scattered throughout a default installation or available as something that's importable.
This is the first I've heard of a licensing problem with the existing documentation.
Yes, others should be contacted on this and a general plan should be made (i.e. what are the topic goals and what is the "win situation")
I want to help. Where do I begin?
