The effort of maintaining the wiki today compare to how it used to be
before is much more cumbersome and problematic.
I think we can learn a lot from wikipedia workflow,
It is a much more inviting process where anyone can change the content
easily.
I'm not saying we should let any anonymous user change the wiki but even if
we make it easier in house we can achieve much more informative reliable
and updated wiki.
