I actually favor the idea of the whole site being a wiki. I see little value from hand coding the <p> tags and wanking around with the tools to build it. Then the process for structuring the site is democratized and the process for generating the consensus and structuring the site will be closer to the metal.
A wiki as in our moinmoin setup - ie) classic anarchy/randomness; or a wiki as in the cwiki confluence approach of site generation? The former always seems to be painful when I've seen sites trying it (from a user point of view at least); I think because it's still very obviously a wiki and unpolished. The latter just seems to continue the tool masturbation. Maybe it's a case of not noticing when a site is using a wiki well. I only notice the crap ones.
However, I've never been much of one for ceremony.
If we're on the I'd likes.... I'd like the Jakarta site to be an xml file(s) with a bunch of xslt's. Then I'd like each subproject/component to be product documentation sites and not waste time with infrastructure (the jakarta site can take care of all that) and I'd like a separate developer focused site for each subproject/component that is refreshed automatically each night.
