wiki documentation

I have had a look at the experimental
BitPim wiki, www.bitpim.org/wiki

I've got some questions about the wiki, to try to
understand it's intent:

o) Is it just experimental, or is it under development
with intent to go live?

o) Is the intent to replace the current local documentation
(and web site documentation) with the wiki?

o) Any intent to keep the local help?

o) What about openness versus security? Is there
an agreed upon strategy?

IMO, the wiki would be a great forum for the documentation,
especially the "Phones" section. It seems to me that
"Phones" section is the primary area that would benefit
by wider authorship.

My suggestions:

o) first, migrate the "supported phones" to the
wiki, and see how it goes

o) after the wiki goes live for the supported phones,
remove this section from the user manual, to
reduce doc maintenance as well as to encourage
users to read/update the wiki. Change the local
documentation to link to the wiki.

o) vandalism: require login for updates;
no second chances for vandals.
