I have to admit it: I hate the wiki. While it is very, very, very easy to add new and quite good looking documentation, it is nearly impossible to maintain, let alone get an overview of what is available and what state it is in.
In its current state, the Wiki contains loads of grossly out-of-date information. Now, in connection with the reorganization of the MOTU team, I propose that all the MOTU team documentation gradually be moved into Mallard format in an ordinary directory tree, living in a bzr branch owned by our team on LaunchPad. We could translate the docs into HTML pages that could be packaged and distributed, and thus installable by everyone on their own machine. The documentation should also be hosted somewhere ... possibly at motu.ubuntu.com? Having the documentation in an DVCS, every instance of it would have a version number that could be referenced, there would be a history feed for the documentation as a whole (not just individual pages, like the wiki has) and there would be a valid version of the documentation matching each release of *ubuntu. Updating, searching, and maintaining the documentation (i.e. packaging guides, tutorials etc.) would be much easier, and the same is true for translations of the same.
