Somebody sets it up, and gets a couple of other community members with suitable skills to help keep an eye on it, including full admin on whatever is running it. They're not all going to go away at once, and when one does they get replaced. You might shift hosts from time to time, but never domains. A wiki is self-maintaining, or, rather, community maintained. There will sometimes be arguments about how content should be presented or organised, but this gets settled. By way of example, wiki.tcl.tk (running since 1999) is like this! > In the meantime I have an real, live ongoing conversation with my > users in the documents which are constantly lighting up with feedback, > buttressed by 100's of world-class engineers on their own cloud. For free. And do you have a local download of the content, including all the feedback, and is it up to date? No-one expects Google to go away, and I won't get into the "evil" argument, but they do change, drop, and replace their services and terms and conditions from time to time. What happens when it ceases to be suitable? Even if someone has complete content, conversion to somewhere else may well be a lot more work than "a few hours with emacs".
