How about http://wiki.lyx.org ? It also has a search box on the front page.
And anyone can improve it - feeding back the advise from the list,
structuring the information available, cleaning up and updating after

For LaTeX, the LaTeX faq http://www.tex.ac.uk/faq
is a good starting point (with 1 web page per
question and many links to the packages...) It's actively maintained
and the maintainer is responsive to questions and hints.
