I understand your point. But I still hope that even if it came to that  
point, that there would be enough time to manage a transition which  
doesn't require the kind of hacks to pull information to a new system.

That's what the corporate support would want to have indeed. But as long  
as they can't provide the same level of service as in these forums, it  
doesn't make sense to pull anything down.

As for the wiki: our biggest issue there probably is degrading quality.  
While it's been a resource for our own support, they now hesitate to use  
it, as there's a lot of outdated information. The community probably could  
help the wiki to survive by helping identify articles which need  
update/replacement. We could add some kind of header as wikipedia often  
does with articles which need some work. Tell the visitor: "this is  
outdated information and needs work - use it at your own risk".

While we have good numbers for the forums (visitors, postings etc.)  
helping us prove the importance of that system, we don't have this data  
for the wiki. It's therefore even more important wiki provides a good  
level of quality.

IMHO nothing changes as quickly in this organization as the personnel. We  
currently see changes in this area which look promising.

So is mine :-).
