In theory, yes. as practical matter one must first learn the
wiki conventions, then establish a page or something for errata,
and then let people know where to look/post, and then...

I use a brute force method. On my computer I have all the
Context mailing list posts in a folder starting with February 2,
2004. I can search on a keyword. If the subject in every case
contains "errata" then it is easy to assemble a listing of the
pertinent posts. 

Looking to the future, if I see a post with "errata" in the subject
line I can inspect it and mark up my manual. At that point I
don't need the particular post any more. 

If instead we are to use the wiki, then someone (not me) needs to
explain the ins and outs of wikidom, create a page etc. 
 as outlined in my first paragraph.
