It's a wiki, that is a big set of unstructured, unrelated but interlinked 
pages on a huge set of unrelated topics. Wiki's have got their place, but 
they aren't suitable for a knowledgebase. In a knowledge base, you need to 
have a fixed format for every page: question or problem statement, set of 
answers, ability to mark a particular answer as authoritative. And of 
course, really good searching.

But note that when I started this topic it was _NOT_ about Dmitry's need 
for a knowledge base that would it make easy for him (or me, or other 
Krita developers) to give user support. I started this topic because of a 
demand from our userbase for a question-and-answer website where they 
would do user-support _themselves_.
