I find the separation we have now quite useful. When looking at
using-wiki we have now, I find a lot of information that is outdated,
some is even plain wrong or proposes solutions that have major
drawbacks when used. The official docs (site on SVN) requires authors
to be committers or other contributors to have a committer add the
contribution, which should have a look upon it before committing it.

I want to keep the distinction to separate between
official/proofread/supported content and user contributions, with the
former being a definitive reference for the end-user. For example, I
have created NUnit tests for nearly all code samples I have added to
the ActiveRecord-pages I revised, as well as statements I was not 100%
sure of.

Since editing rights can be set in STW by namespace and namespaces
cannot be nested, it is more useful to have namespaces for website,
docs and contributions than having namespaces per project.

When documentation is contributed as wiki pages, it is possible to
migrate a page from using to docs including meta-info like categories
and history. Therefore we had a process to proofread contributions and
keep the quality level of the documentation.
