I've never seen the Wiki as anything else but a substitute to typo3.org 
(talking about the existing documents). Of course, only then when the 
Wiki has proven itself.

1. to be easy to develop and maintain documents
2. to be easy for the user to find information
3. to be able to provide a form of offline document to download and print

For the transition period of a several till many months the links to the 
OOo documents fill the information whole that the Wiki naturally has 
till it is complete.

Some documents will probably not be translated into Wiki because they 
are not needed or outdated. The question is, if we should transfer 
necessary documents to Wiki that are OK as they are.

And that only makes sense if we decide at some point that the Wiki is 
our main information source (as typo3.org/documentation is now)

*******

I don't believe we can decide yet if the Wiki will be that or not 
because we only have started and can't really proof that it is a worthy 
substitute to what we have now. We can see its potential and we have 
proof of other Wikis that have stood time.

Here I agree with Ingmar that all we can show now is an overstructured 
place on the internet that doesn't give much information (that's why I 
think the whole discussion is too early to be made).

But once we filled that structure with valuable information I do believe 
that we have outgrown the drawbacks of typo3.org and provide a platform 
that is not only easy to maintain but also open to many volunteer 
writers to extend it and therefore valuable teamwork.
