Wiki's are only good for knowledge base - adding random thoughts as pages - loosely linked together by cross-links. It is terrible as a help format/medium. The other problem with the wiki. Too many hands in the pot and no control of who edits what. So somebody could add rubbish or inaccurate information, and the next person will read that thinking it is correct. Also there is no wiki help per Lazarus release. eg: Can I see the wiki help for when Lazarus v1.0 was released? NO! > is open for volunteers to provide fixes and additions > and actually see "live" what they did without waiting for the next > Lazarus release. Yes, it's called "fpdoc" and have been around for years! It takes a minute or two to generate your own help in whatever format you prefer - HTML, CHM, INF, TXT etc. Users can contribute by supplying documentation patches. It also solves all the above mentioned wiki problems.
