John the points you raised about wikis being easy to edit etc. are all good points. Speaking from hard earned experience here though, the 'old' QGIS wiki over 12 or so years became such a hodge podge of useful and unusable information that it because a large pain point in trying to find trustworthy information. Having formally curated documents, while making it harder to edit (which we would like to fix) emphasizes quality over quantity. Richard has been researching ways to use Markdown for the docs in sphinx so that content can be edited directly in GitHub but that is not something usable ye, and I am not sure if he is still actively working on it.
