It is as far as i understand responsability of the kdepim developers to decide 
what they want to use to create user documentation for their programs, but 
they should take into account that while wiki might be easier to edit (though 
i'm not sure the problem with documentation is easy of edition, i'd just vote 
for lack of manpower) it is totally a pain in the ass to translate (basically 
it's impossible to do it in a structured way) so basically if you go to wiki 
you are going to an english centric solution.

Yes wasting the few time our translators have is not good.
