Well my idea if an average PostgreSQL user is not one who would be 
turned off by the idea of a wiki in general. I also do not think that a 
wiki is unprofessional by definition.

Oh maybe I missed something here, but I did not realize that we are 
discussing replacing the main site with a wiki. I just think that the 
wiki is perfect when we want to involve a broad audience in the creation 
of the text (which may very well then we moved to techdoc or the 
documentation later on) or when its just for a quick one shot with a 
life time if a few weeks (months tops).
