[LEDE-DEV] A Wiki for LEDE Documentation

[Raylynn Knight]

I will be a contributor/user of whatever wiki is provided and have used both Dokuwiki and the Semantic MediaWiki (used by WikiDevi) as I’ve contributed to both the OpenWrt Wiki and MediaWiki.  I think my preference would be for DokuWiki.  

I have experience installing OpenWrt on over 50 different supported devices and a few unsupported devices.  As soon as the wiki is available I’d be willing to start entering data on the devices I have experience with.
