-1 on wiki; wikis are where good information goes off to die. Well, all documentation requires vigilance to remain relevant and current. I'm sure you don't think the Python wiki is useless, right? ;)

Don't worry, as soon as my thesis is gone for good, I will have time to finally make good use of the new features in Sphinx trunk, among them the often request commenting and patching feature.

The result -- I dare say -- will be the best of both worlds: no unsupervised changes in content, but the possibility of instant feedback for readers. We'll require some more people wrangling the amount of information we get, but I've got quite a few requests from the community asking for things to help the docs; now I have to refer them to the tracker, which can be less than satisfying, then I can recruit them into the comment-handling team.

cheers, Georg
