Please elaborate.

Is the wiki supposed to be the upcoming help source, thus invalidating 
FPDoc and friends ?

In fact I don't have a decent opinion on whether this is a good idea, 
but I do recommend considering the implications (including calculating a 
timeframe for making the transition i.e. importing all FPDoc generated 
files into the wiki, providing tools for  importing the Pascal sources 
in a way FPDoc does, exporting  The Wiki content to (what ??) offline 
help viewer, managing comments or "levels" in the viewer for allowing 
the help writers to decently organize their work - as an svn, allowing 
local modifications, for the wiki content is not available).

Re Wiki:
Up til now I did not know that the Wiki is even considered as the main 
help content source, so why do any modifications there which will die 
quite soon ?

Re FPDoc:
Why should I do this, if I am not able to create help viewer files that 
allow me to view my modifications and be sure that I did not destroy 
anything ?
