well. actually everybody who puts up example configuration and other
information on the wiki is also able to remove illegal and unwanted
stuff. so the wiki is maintained by the wiki users itself. the work
needed to maintain the wiki is divided up between its users and saves a
lot of time to everybody. maintaining such a huge information pool would
be a fulltime job for a single person.

at least a wiki would be more organized than mailinglist archives ;) ...
you can have many categories instead of sorting by thread or date. and
then, there is a search function for most wikis.

this would mean, as i said, a lot of effort and time for a maintainer,
while the wiki is maintained by its users itself.
