By your definition of what a forum is, XenForo is already the "community" software you so desire.
That is the major weakness of forums.But the problem with this is to find the relevant information, it is time-consuming and often not easy to find.
Forums searching is horrid. It's very "expensive" in terms of CPU, RAM, and disk space utilization - and the results are poor. And Every forum does it almost the exact same way. IMO.So, that means a forum(software) should concentrate on how to be a better information supplier with perfect search and index system.

Moderators here can say 1000 times for people to read the FAQ, but FAQ reading isn't improving. Why ? Because it's not easy to find.

Concise information that is easily searchable / findable is nirvana. Hard to say if forums will get better in these two regards.
The problem is structural.I'll disagree with that. I put it down to laziness, bone idle people.
A conscious decision was made to not add the various FAQ threads to the manual.
