Atlassian just announced that they are going to allow people to contribute to their documentation after going through a short application process. (I submitted mine and was approved within a few hours so it isn’t too intense.)
It is really cool to see a company that is creating such an amazing wiki product allow verified users to update the documentation. Theirs has been really accurate but there have been a few times where it would be nice to add a bit of info and now people will be able to do just that! I am curious to see how this works out.

Hallo Jeff
Thank you for this post and for your enthusiasm. I’m one of the technical writers at Atlassian and I’m also curious to see how it works out. I’ve written a bit more on my personal blog (ffeathers) about the ins and outs of opening up the documentation. It’s a very interesting and exciting process for us all!
I hope you get lots of satisfaction from being able to tweak the docs
Cheers
Sarah
