Keep in mind that some people expect and use installed help as well.
Most wiki-based documentation systems do not make it convenient to
output XML to support that. For Kino, I enhanced a wiki that uses
docbook XML as a backend and could perfectly export to installed help.
It also supported multiple languages, but the big downside is that it
only supports ISO-8859-1 and not UTF-8! It might be worthwhile for
someone leading documentation to look into these this aspect of it. If
the options are still not good, then some documentation regardless of
installable or not is better than none.
