Maybe not though. Ideally, most of the www content really could live
on the wiki. We'd lose the mirrors, but I'm not really sure how much
value there is in them anyway. Radical thought: with a front page we
can better design, and pages we can lock down from editing, can www be
completely wiki?
Why not? One thing that would be nice for this kind of thing would be a wiki that lives on top of a VCS, with page sources on "official" and "public-editable" branches. The idea of the "official" manual is that this is created by developers (preferably by merging from the public branch :-), and is the source for the next distribution manual.
I don't think this wiki exists yet, though.
