Recently, stackexchange started a similar project:
https://blog.stackoverflow.com/2016/07/introducing-stack-overflow-documentation-beta/
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.
