I guess my thought process on this is:

 * This community team is doing great work creating
   documentation/support for their local community/language.
 * We (the wider Ubuntu community) should support each other in these
   efforts.
 * They (Iranian Team) are having trouble with server/software
   maintenance. Reasonable as that takes volunteer time. Common issue
   for all teams.
 * Why not use a centralized resource/wiki that supports all local
   community teams in their efforts?
 * It could be wiki.ubuntu.com, help.ubuntu.com/community/, or what have
   you, I don't have a preference in that choice.
 * I think it is in the best interest of the whole community to support
   the whole community and providing a service where a few people could
   share the work load that supports the maximum number of teams/users
   is an obvious win (to me).

So, I take your point that w.u.c is not for support, and it is probably
true that help.ubuntu.com/community really isn't the nicest of places to
do this kind of work. However, I'm now thinking about how best to take
this opportunity to support the wider community instead of just a
one-off for the Iranian Team (though, whatever can help them the fastest
is probably best for now).
