Yes, but it isn't really apples to apples.

The wiki setup would promote more community participation in the docs.
The current system promotes single author docs.

So, the question becomes do we want to foster an environment of cooperative
documentation writing, or of individual documentation writing?

But the wiki may do just that, by allowing more people to participate.
It does this, in part, by allowing people to each spend less time on
the job, by working with others.
