This has been on my 'learn how to' list for a while, so I'll give it a go. I think that there a couple of fundamental issues (aside from the parallel forums):- 1) there are parallel FAQ's at http://www.logitech.com/en-us/439/5745?selectedcrid=439&selectedcid=5745&WT.z_sp=Product&osid=&bit= which presents a maintenance and search overhead 2) these forums act as substitute support and save lazy/unaware people from searching by letting them post questions and get answers (a good service for them and provided by free from the many dedicated enthusiasts, but think what more those enthusiasts coudl acheieve if not answering repeat questions). 3) many 'fixes' are frequently reposted, or threads are used as answers which undermines any wiki 4) my personal experience is that searching the forums is more likely to get relevant information than the wiki. I am not sure if this is the search enginer, the tagging or simply the volume of material available. Perhaps critical mass on the wiki (or FAQ?) is necessary to get over the perception hump (or actually these fix a huge number of problems that are therefore invisible).
