This combined IMHO suggests a possible Lazarus Help-Viewer plugin 
displaying such "local wiki" files.

Maybe vice-versa the chm files (and hence all existing help information) 
can rather easily be converted into Wiki format.

So maybe a smooth conversion to a common - and easily updateable (by 
volunteers) and manageable (by the team) - base format for all help 
information (whichever this format is) might be possible.
