Possibly I'm paranoid, but for the stuff we distribute in our source
tree I'd like to know who contributed, and to know that they were really
aware of the license.  That may be an obstacle to mass import of
documentation from the wiki--I don't know.

Whether the wiki markup is a sensible markup language is a separate
question.
