This becomes a problem when we want to e.g. upload a release
or some document.  Developers need a way to put stuff on the web too.

How about allowing web server serve static pages from
/pub/html and ~<user>/html? Then anyone with an account
can easily upload files by scp, and post a link.

For documentation, I'd like very much to have wiki that supports WYSIWYG
editing.  openib wiki is not WYSIWYG and I find it very painful, trac has this
liitation too. There are lots of wikis that support WYSIWYG, e.g. MoinMoin is
written in Python and is I think popular:
http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/MoinMoinFeatures

Please consider this feature: we won't get quality documentation in wiki
unless writing it is easy.

I just run the WYSIWYG requrirement through wikimatrix and got:
http://www.wikimatrix.org/wizard.php?d%5Bpl%5D%5B%5D=&d%5Bfoss%5D=free&d%5Bstorage%5D=&d%5Bflag%5D=1&d%5Bwysiwyg%5D=yes&d%5Bhistory%5D=&d%5Bgo%5D=1

"Installable software with WYSIWYG editing and is Free and Open Source.
The following 20 Wikis match your criteria:
Corendal Wiki, Giki, IkeWiki, JSPWiki, KeheiWiki, MediaWiki, Midgard Wiki,
MoinMoin, MoniWiki, Oddmuse, Perspective, PhpWiki, PmWiki, PukiWiki, SnipSnap,
TiddlyWiki, TWiki, WackoWiki, XWiki and Zwiki"
