Most of openSUSE's current documentation is generated along side SUSE's so talking to SUSE's documentation team is probably the best starting point. As a result of this if you look at https://doc.opensuse.org/ it tends to cover things that are in SLE very well but doesn't tend to cover areas outside that, Yeah, the problem I see is that there is no community-based team for these docs, the community is just relying on a re-badging of the corporate docs.
for example there's a bunch of low hanging fruit in things like the Gnome User Guide could probably be extended to other desktops like KDE and there are probably a bunch of other features / things that we ship in openSUSE that aren't in SLE that could equally make there way into openSUSE's version of the documentation. A content audit seems like a good place to start.
Since there's no mailing list or IRC any more, it's a little hard to know how to go about building up a community around docs. Do you think this is the best list to try and kick that off, or is there a more appropriate place?

Such a team exists. We had many questions on our wiki mailing list in the past how to contribute to the real documentation of openSUSE, because this documentation is only editable by the SUSE documentation team.
I'm so happy there are people out there!
The community is only allowed to edit the wiki and that is the documentation by the community at the moment.
That is actually quite disturbing to me. I'm going to follow up with the internal docs team to find out what's happening here from their perspective.
The wiki mailing list has been merged with opensuse-web now. Therefore, you can find our wiki Contributors on opensuse-web. Excellent, I'll sign up over there :) It would be great to find a solution for a better cooperation for the documentation part at openSUSE. Agreed. Without a community, open source is in name only. And as the WtD community like to say: "Docs or it didn't happen" ;)
Thank you that you want to volunteer in this position between SUSE and openSUSE!
I have some experience to bring from other open source docs projects, and I hate to see a good project linger without love. So, you are most welcome!
