Not to be negative but what type of content is going to go in the Wiki?

Over at RTEMS, I've become quite disillusioned with Wikis for most
content. Not being integrated with the source processes, version
control, and releases, it can become out of sync and out of date.
It's usually much easier to keep documents in any markup system
up to date than a wiki.

This ignores that Wikis get vandalized and have spam account attempts
which doesn't seem to happen with source code in git (or cvs).

What's the process for ensuring any links in the wiki don't break?

What review processes are going to be used for content?

What's the driving content need for a wiki?

Sorry to be negative. I like the "control" in source code control
and a wiki is lacking there.
