It seems to me that the question of "To wiki or not to wiki" is a question
FOR authors...
No.
My question is, as I see it, explicitly end user oriented..
Based on responses so far, I suspect my goal may not exist
It's not like school children get to say, "Hey, I don't like
movable, printable text in my text books... Anyone with a printing press
can fake this! Give me the same content, but engraved in gold platters, it
carries a higher archival quality!"
As a reader, your only choice is "To read the documentation, or not."

A wiki is used for community driven documentation; You could easily use a
Google Docs document to achieve a similar task; Or maybe you write the
documentation into your code, and use a parser to spit out an HTML5 based
website with just the comments, publish the whole lot to GitHub; Or maybe
you scribble notes on to a legal pad, and pass the legal pad around at
meetings...
I'm asking as a reader looking background/overview not potential author.
One of my long term goals is an alternative to a "Frequently Asked
Questions". My awkward working title "Question Which Should be More
Frequently Asked". FAQ looks better than QWSMFA ;/

There are multiple carriers of information on the internet.
Mailing lists and USENET groups stress timeliness.
Wikis by nature can be more in-depth but can suffer from edits from

I repeat my question. Is there an alternative to wikis.
The question is explicitly community and/or topic agnostic.
