I agree with this viewpoint - a wiki would still be useful for drafts, collaboration, etc.
Finished information for users at least, could be published to a guide-like user documentation. When I said I was anti-wiki, I meant from a "user" point of view - someone who is new to Inkscape generally needs a more structured approach to documentation than a wiki (such as a "Getting Started" section as you mention).
A wiki does not preclude a structured approach to information, particularly with newer version of MediaWiki - see wikibooks.org.
Agreed.
What is needed is a concerted effort to organize the information available on the wiki, and remove outdated information.
I absolutely agree. We seem to have lots of people interested in replacing the wiki or otherwise showing some form of interest at the moment. Energy and enthusiasm is good and we need to tap into it while it's there. So really, it seems like the main areas that need to be dealt with are some restructuring/reorganizing where it makes sense, removing truly deprecated information, updating things that are still partially accurate, and what else?
Do we have any takers for the "overhaul" stuff as opposed to rebuilding? I know I will be busy through the holidays, but after that could commit about an hour a day to working on some of this.
Cheers, Josh
