Personally, I think the wiki is already better than http://framework.zend.com/manual I also think we can do a wiki to HTML that will look better than the existing pages. However, not everyone agrees with me, so we need to keep the wiki-to-docbook conversion working.

I think wiki format has one serious downside - it's not meant for distribution. Also, I am not sure how easy it would be to automatically process it - e.g., taking PHP manual as example, there are tools that use PHP manual to automatically extract functions, classes, descriptions, etc. for various purposes. Docbook XML structure allows for that. Wiki most probably won't. So unless there are solutions for these two problems - distirubution and automatic processing - for wiki format, I would say it is worse than docbook format.
