A better solution might be that anyone can write the documentation, and there is a maintainer who constantly refactors the wiki to keep it legible. Makes sure the information is not duplicated, adds hyperlinks to things, etc.

Internal documentation is everyone's responsibility, not a "tech writer". External should be written by a professional, agree.

"Everyone's responsibility" sounds like an euphemism for "no one really cares". When people actually care about something, they hire an expert.

Why do you hire software developers, instead of making software development everyone's responsibility? Is that because most people suck at software development? Well, most people suck at writing documentation, too.
