Well, not anyone. I for example can't. And since you asked for proof 
readers which are not necessarily programmers I assume most of them 
can't either. TeX is not very common among ordinary users. And you 
hardly would find an non-programmer who will be willing to install a 
source control system only to commit some better phrases for a manual.

On the other hand the wiki pages are pretty popular, simply because they 
are easy to find. They should be up to date IMHO. However, after some 
searching I found that texi2html used together with a file 
"mediawiki.init" would produce mediawiki text.

Could someone with texi2html installed try to convert one of the manuals 
to mediawiki text and see how it displays in the panotools wiki? Or mail 
me the result off list that I can try?

best regards
