I guess the main problem with the two wikis was that they more or less look identically, so it was hard to find out in which wiki-space I am. So I am +1 for moving the release docs to drupal to make clear that they are different from the wiki that reflects work in progress.

What the current proposal misses is taht we discussed to enable a comment feature on the release (and maybe even on the trunk docs) to allow users to give feedback to the docs or share their workarounds etc. Here's an example from the jquery docs [1].

Yes, along with (hopefully) the accidental links which send users from the 
stable release docs into the trunk docs.  In effect the release docs are a 
snapshot of the trunk docs just before the release, with a layer of QA applied 
to ensure that they are accurate and up to date.

I think Chris was asking if we are getting ridding of the Documentation
space within our wiki
(http://opencast.jira.com/wiki/display/MHDOC/Matterhorn+Documentation).
This would go away, yes?

Chris,
My understanding during the Unconference session was *not* to get rid of the 
wiki.
What I understood about the proposal is to have a static official version of 
the documentation that matches the actual Matterhorn release that would be 
approved similar to the way the release is (i.e. QA).
The wiki wouldn't be gone as it would be the needed canvas where to update the 
docs for the upcoming releases and also a space to add new page for say dev 
recipes.

One way to look at technical documentation writing is to compare it to code 
writing, with branches, release candidates and official releases, basically 
versioning, the official release doc being that static document that is pushed 
to the official channels (i.e. outside of the wiki) at the same time as the 
official released code.

Are we talking about abandoning the wiki completely for docs?  (I don't
particularly like this idea)
I think that's the idea, yes. I'd love to hear your thoughts about this, Chris. 
It's an idea that came up during the Opencast conference.
