Content in the Bakery is also tagged by version. It's actually meant  
to get old gracefully. You know its old, because you see that its  
labeled 0.9x or 1.1x, etc.

The wiki was a festering pit of misinformation. I cannot say that  
enough. Sure, there were a few articles that were good, but on the  
whole, it was a horrible source of problems. As the documentation  
lead, and someone that takes on support in the IRC channel most of  
the day, I can say–without doubt–the axing of the wiki is a most  
wonderful thing.

Dude. Mister Anderson is my father.

Well said otherwise, though. :)

The Bakery is most definitely the vision for the future. It allows  
the community to contribute (like the wiki did) but it allows us to  
verify the quality of the content, and store it in a way that will  
get old gracefully.

The only drawback with the Bakery is the lull in content. The wiki  
had some good stuff (somewhere, I suppose), and there will be some  
growing pains that result from not having it around. But, it is  
community contributed, and we still have the ghost of the wiki in  
Google cache for a while. Jump in and move things you think are cake- 
worthy.

The Bakery will only get better (while the wiki would have only  
gotten worse).
