The wiki is great at what wikis are great at, lowering the barrier to contribution. There is a lot of good stuff (some of it is even translated to other languages!); I'm guessing there would be much less if people had to jump through more hoops. > Perhaps some generated docs maintained in-tree and hosted somewhere on > cassandra.apache.org might be an idea?

I had this exact idea, I even checked the CQL language documentation into the tree as doc/cql/CQL.textile. I had expected that to either set a precedent, or to be told to get it out of there, but neither happened. :) I don't think we need to choose one or the other. If someone would rather add documentation to the wiki, we should let them (thank them even). People interested in something maintained with more rigor can invite the wiki peeps to submit patches, and steal their content if they won't! -- Eric Evans eev...@rackspace.com
