I agree that topic size may actually be an issue. If you split books by
chapter, the individual chapters may get too big to handle via wiki.
Maybe you need to get more granular.

I've started splitting some of the larger chapters of the OOoAuthors guides into sub-chapters, and have been thinking about ways to improve on the result (eg "next topic" - "previous topic" links) without too much manual work. I confess to having very little experience with wikis, so I don't know any tricks to make this easier.

references to different parts would, mean a lot of extra work between
formats as this is not supported in the wiki?

References inside the wiki just work fine, I see no problem there.

References within the wiki work fine, but I don't know a way to automate putting them in, so they have been a lot of extra work. The tool I used to convert ODT to wiki format turned all the x-refs into text (which did not surprise me). But other than putting pre-existing ODT material onto the wiki, that might not be a big issue.

Ultimately, there won't be a one-size-fits-all solution and
we may need to look for different approaches for different
info types.

Agreed. I haven't been following the rest of this discussion closely (will try to catch up later), so I may have more to say on this another day.
