I was unclear, I wasn't talking about format. IMHO, using a Wikki
for technical documentation is misguided. Since it's off-topic, we can
discuss this off of the list.

I converted Mark Rage's document to DocBook as a demonstration.
Nobody asked me to re-write it. Was I supposed to?
Too often, Open Source hackers develop NIH (Not-Invented-Here)
Syndrome. You see them do the same work over and over. I try to avoid
that, if possible. That's why I have worked with the maintainers of
the existing documents like Mark and Valentijn.
I'm dumb-founded by this personal attack... Maintenance work might
be "mechanical" but it's necessary.
