move docs to github wiki

[Adeor]

hi,

would it be possible to move/copy the documentation to the GitHub Wiki?
I think it would be much clearer and easier to navigate (at least for me).

If you want I would gladly port it for you.

By default Github Wikis allow everyone to edit, just like Wikipedia. I'm afraid that it will be bloated with wrong/inproper information. There are some alternatives:

1. Add a section in yt-dl.org and/or rg3.github.com/youtube-dl and sync contents of docs/. I guess pandoc can transform Markdown to HTML, too.
2. Restrict Wikis to collaborators. An advantage of this approach is that Github provides a Wiki repository, so the Markdown -> HTML conversion is done by Github.

In both approaches we need to sync changes back manually if files under docs/ are modified. Github webhooks provides a seemingly simple synching mechanism.

Sorry for being late to the party. I was just now browsing issues I'm "participating" on and I noticed #11234. If the team agrees I should change the project settings just mail me and I'll do.

@rg3 thank you for your positive response on wiki.
@yan12125 only the collaborators can change the wiki. We can post/comment things like what to add,what to change,etc.(I have tried it myself pr doesnt work).

github webhook is a nice idea and keep track of all the changes.
