People are already using stack exchange. Configuration files are already hosted on Github and Bitbucket. The problem is that stuff is spread out all over the net. My primary concern with moving away from the wiki is creating a cathedral model for writing documentation where we one had a bazaar. There should be as little friction as possible, otherwise we'll be losing contributors. People with English as a third or fourth language or newbies that just got their new laptops running. I just googled for "nixos contributing documentation" because I don't know how to write docbook or which repo holds the docs. only decent hits are on the NixOS wiki! How will new people figure out how to contribute when the wiki is gone? I'm not satisfied until I see that new users can be brought onto the loop with the new system. Maybe a comment section in the documentation that expires with each major version, like with PHP? (You must admit, for such a terrible language they have excellent documentation).
