But the disadvantage, as opposed to a Wiki, is that joe user can't make
changes to the docs.And that is what people want.Although I wonder if
we have Joe user contributing to the docs if it will really be better.It
may be, I just don't know.
I've come across a number of projects using wiki documentation lately. Lacking any centralized editing, it tends to vary wildly in quality, substance, and style. Information is poorly organized and difficult to find, and documentation is often duplicated.
Maybe my experiences aren't a sufficiently representative example, but I've been left with a very poor impression of open source wiki documentation.
