I think there are a number of problems that could be solved by better,
up to date documentation.  Many of these could better be solved by
major fixes to the UI, but those have yet to appear.

I think the simplest and easiest way to get better documentation is to
have a more active wiki.  There's a decent amount of good material on
the wiki, but I don't think it sees much use.  I propose that the wiki
be given a more prominent place in the documentation:

- Currently, the link to the wiki from the freenetproject.org main
page is buried as the last link under the documentation subheading.
Move it to the second link (after "What is Freenet?" of the main menu.
- Add a link on fproxy (with a redirect warning that the wiki is not anonymous).
- Make an effort to point users to the relevant wiki pages if their
question / problem has a known answer.  Raising user awareness of the
wiki is important.

Thoughts?
