I think that a 2nd wiki would be counterproductive. Some folks will be partial to one, some to another, you'll get some duplication of data, and probably some conflicting data as well. I laud your efforts and think a documentation project has plenty of potential but in my mind I think if you fleshed out a structure for such as you proposed, but in fine detail, then built that structure in parallel on the existing wiki site it would be pretty straight forward to integtrage salient existing data to the new structure. In come cases it could be as simple as a link to an existing page. In other cases, it may mean creating a new page and doing a copy/paste. But it would provide continuity which I think is critical for success. Regardless of where the wiki lives a fine grained plan and framework needs to be done up front. There's no reason it can't live on the existing wiki site. As Geoff noted Frederick Henderson did a pretty comprehensive revamp a year or so ago which helped clean it up a lot. No reason it can't be done again.
