Github has wikis for each project.
Example: https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/wiki

You'd only have to create a 'markdown' project, which needn't have
anything in it but a README.markdown file with a link to the wiki.
Anyone with a github account could edit the wiki.
This seems far easier than any of the other proposals.
