OK, so it's not about having one document or not. It's about having a 
user approach or not and that's why we are working on the docs right now.

OK, so then not many documents then but rather less

You might want to have a look at

http://wiki.typo3.org/index.php/Debian_installation_manual

it's a personal preference.

I asked around and as I understand, you end up with CVS or sharing in 
the extension repository. Nothing compares to wiki to my knowledge.
