Is the goal of the Wiki just to be able to gather input from the public
from a single source (e.g. we have a Wiki set up on the web which anyone
can post to) or is it something that we can publish to (e.g. instead of
generating straight HTML pages, we generate Wiki pages).

If the latter, it seems to me that we need to be able to support a range
of Wikis.

Shouldn't the Wiki just link to the current download page to keep it easy?

Make sense.

The Wiki needs to be as easy to use as possible.  If we're only using it
to gather feedback, how is this any better than a mailing list?
