mailing list is a kind of database :-), and we can very easily create
a mailinst list just for this purpose (no real need to be subscribed,
archives do the job)

we don't ask for any length of time :-). Use of the wiki may lower
considerably the burden of maintaining. If I judge on my own
situation, I used docbook/linuxdoc only for the HOWTO, never for
anything else, so each time I wanted to change a comma, I had to learn
again the langage, find again the tools an send a submit. So I did
this nearly never.
on the contrary, with the wiki, even if the user don't make the
change, the author have just to connect, fix and save. and most people
nowaday have to use a wiki or an other and know how.
