Hi Jobin,

well, at least for the man pages and reference manual it makes sense to use 
docbook xml (like mysql does) because you can generate different output formats 
from a single source (man pages, html, pdf). Mysql makes have use from 
referencing to specific topics (like see 5.2.1 for documentation) that would be 
hard with a dynamic wiki, too.

There are some solutions that might come in hand for that (a wiki that can 
speak docbook, called docbookeasy).

For the Developer documentation a wiki is probably the best solution.
