Hmmm. Speaking only for myself and as someone starting to evaluate
fossil, I do not want two uses. The wiki is to be used to develop
"working notes" which will form the basis of formal documentation. If
fossil is successful, the formal documentation will be present
alongside the code.

In our case, "working notes" involve quite a few equations surrounded
by somewhat loose wording which needs revision when moved into the
more formal documentation but hopefully contains the key points. I am
still pondering the options (I know little about the web or web
software) but I suspect Fossil-wiki is not a goer though
wikipedia-wiki (whatever that is) might be.

To be honest, the worst case scenario is to ignore the wiki and
continue as usual writing documentation in a doc directory. This would
make browsing a bit more time consuming but we don't have that at
moment and so it is not going to be missed. The distributed bug
tracking is a plus (do not need a fancy one just a step up from a todo
list). The distributed source control is about equal to mercurial,
perhaps a bit rougher round the edges.
