Thoughts?

I think the reason for the disconnection is due to the docs not being
stored with the wiki and I don't see what can be done to merge the two
since they are two completely separate and different sources of
documentation.

BTW, it turns out I didn't notice the wiki link until after reading your
post! The link should be a button or something else that's much more
noticeable and friendly for users to explore.
Even better, I think the content should be inlined!!!
One grip do I have is that the "improve this page" system is rather
unfriendly, and because of this I've not yet taken the time to research
what I have to do to get to the point where I can contribute
improvements. I suspect it turns away most people who otherwise would
try and contribute.
Making it too easy may escalate moderation needs.
In any event, what I see with the new document format is a very very
large improvement and the sooner it is implemented (even with some of
the minor flaws not yet fixed) the better.
Agreed.
