Jeff Garzik put a good writeup of this here:

We have a plan for this which is multi pronged.  We will provide normal
usage cookbook recipes as you suggest.  We're also planning on turning the
docs into a structured twiki (backed by BK of course) and allowing users
to correct them as they see fit.  We'll review any changes and either 
reject them as incorrect or add them into the official docs.
