The wiki is not dead, just resting. The original domain has lapsed.
You can reach it at:

I put a password on it because some people vandalized it. The user is
rev, the password is magic -- how many people remember that password?
The problem at this point is that the wiki is horribly out of date. I
think it's based on 1.1.1. I think I did an export of 2.x to html,
but never went to the trouble of wiki-fying it.
The new documentation format allows for "web notes." I believe that
was supposed to be a wiki-like feature, but I don't know if it ever
got wired up. Might be worth checking into. If it isn't wired up, it
wouldn't be hard to tie in a wiki page to the existing docs. Heck,
with Chipp's web plugin it should be trivial. Just create a stack
that displays the wiki, then let it grab the current page of the docs
to know what wiki page to display. Easy peasey. Okay, maybe just easy
carrotsey.

Back in early 2002, Geoff Canyon (who hasn't been seen around these
parts in a while) started a Rev Docs Wiki. He exported all the docs
to an XML format as I recall and populated the Wiki with them as
starting points. It was met with a resounding thud.
I'm sending Geoff a note to see if he's still got the original
stuff around (the site is dead) and whether he'd be willing to
share that as a starting point. I would be happy to step up to the
plate and get something like this kick-started and at least help
lead the effort. I can supply a hosting place for it. But I'm not
sure this is an idea whose time has yet come. Would it get lots of
use and update? WOuld RR support it in some meaningful ways?

Tim,
I have also posted in the past about the Docs merits and
shortfalls and also suggested a wiki like you did. A wiki would
be great for fleshing out the docs in depth.
