Pootle is for localization only, but it has huge benefits. It's a web based solution, it's easy to use, keeps track of users and changes. The right web-based solutions coult automatically export the content to XML, HTML, PDF, ODF etc. without having to copy from the wiki, re-create all the tables, do formatting etc. to export to different files. I think if such a solution exist, it should be used, and serve the purpose that Pootle serves. I really think that the wiki is plan Z here, as the documentation has loads of formatting that doesn't work with the wiki.
