I would love to see a wiki for FreeBSD. I think that it would be really beneficial for the project. It would take some work to establish it but if there were enough participants, it could turn into a very robust documentation project. Some hard work would be required to make the wiki healthy and to police it but the spirit of a wiki is many users reviewing each other.
