I think I'd rather see the documentation repaired in the CVS repository where it happens to reside today. Wikis have a habit of getting out of date in ways that make them even more difficult to rectify, because the data is frequently structured in a way that doesn't make it particularly easy to pull it out and transform it into other forms. Now, if someone knows a way of creating a Git repository[1] that tracks, change-for-change, everything going on in a MediaWiki repository in a textual form that would allow one to monitor everything going on, and possibly even inject changes, that *would* be something. (To *my* mind, the ultimate wiki platform that I have seen lately is ikiwiki <http://ikiwiki.info/>, which manages the wiki in an SCM, "compiling" the pages into HTML whenever things are changed. Should cope with heavy query load rather well! But I digress...)
