I agree with Gwyn. I found the Hibernate WIKI very usefull. If the info
of that WIKI would have been part of e.g. a FAQ or the manual, it would
have been to bloated. Furthermore, a FAQ or manual somewhat represent
the 'official' point of view, whereas the WIKI can be a place where
alternate views and slightly off-topic stuff can be put down. E.g. I saw
a post about Wicket/ JDO earlier on. The WIKI can be a nice place for a
how-to on this, or e.g. how-to's on Wicket/ SpringFramework etc.

Just to pickup on this particular point, as I disagree.
I think that a Wiki's got a valuable role to play as something
between posts on a mailing list and the 'real' manual. The two areas
I envisage for it at the moment are (1) somewhere to collect
information that might need discussing before it becomes published
(such as you just posted?), e.g. Tips/Guidelines/BestPractices and (2)
for documentation/discussion of contributions that aren't part of the
core product. I'm thinking about www.intellij.org as the model here.
Wiki's also tend to have outdated information.
Actually, that's the one charge against wiki's that should be least
likely, as the nature of the beast means that the info can be either
removed or updated much more easily than it could once it's in a
manual!
