@mherger: Am I right in believing that the current heavy hitters in LMS maintenance prefer to keep everything documented in forums.slimdevices.com, rather than going back to the wiki model?
The model is way less important than the maintainers of the documentation. The problem with the old wiki was that nobody took care of it. At some point it was so badly outdated (content as well as the underlying software stack) that I decided to archive it. It didn't make sense bringing the software up to speed if nobody was willing to maintain content.
We could have wiki style documentation on github. But again: somebody needs to take care of documentation. I believe that outdated, and thus often broken, documentation isn't any more helpful than no documentation. A living forum certainly comes with a good share of outdated information, too. But you can ask, and you will get responses. I'm not saying that the forum is an alternative to a wiki. But it's what we currently have, and what has worked better than the wiki model in the past.
