I don't think it would be better. I like the mailing list. It can be
archived to provide a sequential flow as well as being searchable. I
find I will read the list daily, but would get to the Swiki less often.
Of course, this "out of sight; out of mind" aspect has the disadvantage
that errors etc. on the Swiki don't cry out as loudly. I agree that it
is desirable to get the knowledge from the list to the Swiki, and that
is where each of us could do that. I think some of us are naturally
reluctant to rework the Swiki for fear that we aren't qualified, but I
think we should try to get over that and make a stab at it. (I'm
falling down on the job.)

Yes, and again, each of us should update the information we know about
when we come across something out of date.
