That's the whole point of wikis : to make info easier to keep current. The
reason our pages are out of date is because they can't be kept up to date in
a convenient way. They are in cvs so only those with CVS access can edit
them. On a wiki, anyone could update them if he feels he has to, and edition
is much quicker than a cvs cycle.
The downside is that edition is made through the usual web browser's text
area, so in effect wikis suck for large documents (but that's not their
intended use anyway). And again, these docs are just a bit of what would
ideally go on a wiki. Most of our design threads here would be better handled
on such a system.
