Personally I have fallen out of love with wiki's - the information is
always stale and disorganised and difficult to know what is canonical
info and what is not. For sure they have their place as a scratch pad,
but I would like to see all documentation nicely curated in sphinx
projects. I have started a sphinx project for governance matters a
while back were this kind of information would make sense.

In the light of my statement above, Paolo Corti's workplan is
especially interesting to me as I am looking forward to the
reorganisation of our documentation infrastructure into a single
platform.
