So this was a user driven initiative. PG should then "hijack" it and formalise it. They could then moderate the entries to make sure it is correct



that's certainly one way to look at it, and there is merit to that point of view.

An alternative point of view is that the size of a given group magnifies the potential of its swarm intelligence. In other words, if we let PGMusic primarily work at developing cool features we can't live without, and let a huge group of users contribute to the WIKI, we are more likely to get self-correction and continuous improvement in the archived knowledge base.

Just as 3rd party plugins make a product more dynamic, so can 3rd party tutorials (such as WIKIs and user forums)

There is very little incentive for a company to dedicate paid resources to duplicate a function they already provide in a different form. The whole purpose behind user forums is to supplement static documentation with dynamic real time user-to-user help. The ability to capture and share the knowledge of enthusiastic users is part of what makes BIAB so popular (IMO)

Why settle for one when we can have both?

The trick is in figuring out how to get the whole swarm involved in the WIKI....
