We placed a warning right at the beginning of the documentation that it might be incomplete, inappropriate, inconsist- ent, inexact, incorrect, in- ... you-name-it, and thus there is absol- utely no reason whatsoever to improve it.

May I kindly mirror your own words back to you? You just said: "The Wiki is open for everyone to edit. If you feel like something is miss- ing, or you think some explanations can be enhanced, you are welcome to edit the wiki". Apart from that: I'm not yet quite sure what to make of the idea of a NOVICE editing the wiki. > But if someone wants to get involved deeply into editing > it's worth reading.

Pick one. Grow up and don't blame others for what you feel compelled to do! If you prefer "having lengthy and funny discussions on a mailing list" over writing documentation that's solely your own decision. You just don't have to have discussions you don't want to have, so if you are in fact having them you are in fact wanting them. And you just don't have to use arguments as far-fetched as the ones ab- ove, but if you do, just don't be too surprised to meet with opposition.
