Actually, one of the earlier wiki's was actually integrated into the 
manual, so you could click at a button at the bottom of each page in 
the on-line manual in order to add or read comments, suggestions for
updates and so on. Still, the number of contributions was extremely
small. Actually, I would say that the number of people who have 
contributed constructively to the documentation over the last months is 
much larger than we ever had earlier and as long as Graham thinks the 
editing task is managable, we shouldn't complain.
