Wikis<br>
have too much stale text! I keep wondering if we should drop the Wikis<br>
entirely and go to documenting in code so it's easier to maintain. We<br>
already have started documenting things like API changes, etc in the<br>
Doxygen pages[1]. Maybe we should migrate everything there.<br>
<br>
The one reason for Wikis is that its easier for external folks to<br>
change. But if we move to github/gitlab workflow soon, people will be<br>
able to edit files and create merge requests on the Web directly as<br>
well. Hence those who are actually keep on editing the documentation<br>
will indeed be able to.<br>

What do folks think?<br>
