Just off the top of my head, I'm imagining most education would take place via discussion with more experienced legislation makers who are creating comments or discussions based on certain sections.
Say like somebody wants to delete a section, they have to give a reason i.e. "this section as worded because of blah, blah, blah, would make it so that people with one foot, would no longer be allowed to pee standing up in america."
I'm thinking all edits would be discussion based, and it is this discussion about why each thing should be the way it is, that would educate people as to how this whole process works.
I think it has been said before, but you would definitely need to include all legislation in this, so when somebody says "x would conflict with y legislation" they can link to that legislation, and people can educate themselves, as to how to write it in such a way that it doesn't conflict.
Not just a source for new legislation but also education for existing or proposed legislation using the same or a similar markup process familiar to all users, not too fragmented
