it's not that simple. This topic was already debated back and forth long
ago. I remember that Axel Wernicke worked on a wiki solution.

I just can count several issues:

    - migrating the current source to a wiki
    - creating HTML snapshots for the GIMP help system with stable ids
    - creating sane layouted printouts
    - spam problems and access restrictions

Though my position doesn't mean that a wiki is an impossible solution
for the user manual.

Cheers,
