What about some sort of slashdot-like discussion attached to howtos?
You'd then look at some sort of moderation or rating system, then maybe
an auto-revision of howtos (including version numbers?)
The discussions would attach to a particular revision of a howto - so the
author could take the comments, and fold them into a new version.
Seem reasonable?
