I would that there's something even worse, which is lack of version
control, leading to an ability for anyone to simply wipe out a page
which may have contained much valuable information from many users.
This happened to us with an important section of the tomcat wiki faq
page.

This is one of the reasons I don't much care for a public wiki, but mu=
ch
prefer a normal web FAQ page (i.e. maintained and updated by people wi=
th
CVS access to logging-site, e.g. the jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/faq).  =
I
think wiki is nice in theory for this sort of use, but I haven't seen =
it
work in practice yet.

That said, there's no harm in having a wiki since it's not a critical
resource, so I don't mind having it sit there ;)
