Do we want to do that? Admittedly wikis are easier to edit. But wasn't the docbook format chosen for a reason? To those who remember: What was that reason? Does it still apply?

I think that was a reason I didn't/couldn't contribute to the docs a long time ago, IIRC. There was a reason for docbook, but it was one of those "the best is the enemy of the good" moments. Docbook is great is everyone can use it, but choosing a format that is mostly used by coders means that its use might be limited to coders whose time might be better spent coding. Mere civilians like myself can more easily add to the project if we don't set up barriers to entry like that.
