It would be easier to update articles with a Wiki than without. Of course the pages should be editable for members only ;)

No, it should not be a Wiki, that would destroy the site!

Its better this way.

I find WIKIs unintuitive. It's a fad that I hope will eventually go away.

I'd like to see this site turn into a good example of wiki collaboration. Just like gentoo wiki. Otherwise, I agree with X-Istence. It will destroy the site

Only if there is a great database that tracks who changed it and maintains the old version and allows you to restore the old version (like jive's community software does).

To some extent I think it would help organize the guides if only they were on the wiki standalone.

wikis are good for some content sites, but it is not intended to be very friendly to tutorial/guide sites.

I'm with leegold. I hope wiki's just fade away.

I like wiki'es. I manage a couple of wiki sites myself. But still prefer bsdguides as it is.

It seems to me the only real difference between a wiki and what is there now is that wiki's are collaborative. Given the way things update frequently I think wikifying essential. Look at the success of wikipedia - wiki's are not going away. It's an excellent form for a knowledge base and it shares the editing burden. It doesn't mean the entire site has to be a wiki - but the current situation where you have to read through all the comments to make sure you didn't miss anything is more error prone.
So, my 2 cents... 1) limit editing to members 2) track changes 3) create an editing policy to guide people and worst-case, limit editing to "core/experienced" members. Posted by akoola on April 05, 2009 at 12:11:59 am EEST
Creating policy for wiki contributions would be an good idea for begining,
