5 What are the main problems with this - especially if a "sighted pages"
6 approach is taken? I would think the main issue with a wiki would be
7 officialness and the proposed approach could potentially address that.

9 Obviously an issue with moving to a wiki would be the mass of
10 documentation already out there, but the logical approach would be to
11 move it over time, and perhaps cite the existing docs in the wiki
12 where possible. Then if documentation gets stale it could be
13 re-written and "approved."

15 Just because the wiki isn't CURRENTLY there to replace official docs
16 doesn't mean that we shouldn't think about whether it one day could.
