Yeah, I think our first step should be making sure that pages are
tagged appropriately. Maybe we should schedule a tagging jam for the
team some time in the next few weeks during which we hang out in
#ubuntu-doc and comb through wiki pages?

As for AskUbuntu vs. help wiki, people on AskUbuntu can only really
write about what someone asks. So if they just got finished up
installing an application and want to share the details of what they
did, the help wiki is the optimal place for this. It's unfortunate
that they may not come back in 2 years and update it, but we are
volunteer-run here so we do the best we can :) At least tagging helps
people know that it's out of date so they should consider accordingly,
and gives contributors a mechanism for searching for pages that need
updating and all they need to do is update rather than create a whole
new page from scratch.
