You can create a context tag and create example documents. The difficulty with such projects, as usual, is to have a critical mass for others to browse and contribute. One could start by "porting" existing examples from the wiki, mailing list, tex.stackexchange, etc.

Scratch that. It seems that documentation tags can only be created for topics that are popular on stackoverflow (not stackexchange).
