Okey, that's a wiki. Then how about a subsection at the top where we can add a total beginners guide?
I think the library is perfectly fine for adding content aimed at new users.
Once there is a sufficient amount of helpful content, it might be time to discuss how to ensure that new users will find it more easily. Right now, any frontpage links would point to an empty page, which would help noone.
At this stage, it might be more pertinent to ask what questions must be answered to make new users feel at home...

Otherwise you would up with something unofficial, inaccurate and/or incomplete which might not even get put on the MOS CD.
As long as the documentation included a disclaimer informing about potential inaccuracies and the community-driven origins, there should be no problem. Even the included release notes feature a disclaimer with similar language.
If there was an actual need for it, it would also be possible to mark sections of the wiki that have been reviewed by members of the MorphOS development team and keep those protected from unmoderated editing.

Wiki is not the solution either, it needs to be something that can be accessed when offline.
Depending on the used engine, it is certainly possible to export wiki content as PDF documents (with embedded images) or an archive of HTML pages.
