Well, I read it like this:
 1. PDF for printing
 2. wiki for writing/reading

If the wiki was 'only' for writing, and finished docs would be
transformed to OOo, it would look like this:
 1. PDF/OOo for printing
 2. wiki for writing
 3. OOo on typo3.org for reading

But having two places to go for reading the docs should be avoided, at
least on the long run (of course it doesn't make too much sense to
dump the existing docs, links from the wiki are just fine).

Thus, to avoid confusion, it would be good (and will probably
gradually happen) if all ext docs are in the wiki, and none in
OOo. That's how I read this, and having *one* place to go for docs is
a must, IMHO.

I'm not sure I explained that very well, but I hope you understand it
anyway.

Well, not only *one* link, but multiple. I really like the way the
structure of the documentation can be seen in the ext repository and
the doc matrix right now. But I think this is something we might need
to drop then. Well, rather more documentation, than having one more
overview table :)
