Documentation. It's a necessary part of any FOSS project. But the traditional methods for delivering documentation to users are mired in a sometimes unnecessary level of complexity. On top of that, updates to the documentation often can't be made and deployed quickly.

Enter the wiki. It's not just for a techie's app. A wiki can be a powerful tool for writing and delivering documentation.

In this talk, Scott Nesbitt will explore the constantly evolving role of wikis in the creation and distribution of documentation. Drawing on a number of real-world example, Scott will discuss:

* The benefits of using wikis for documentation
* How Open Source projects use wikis to deliver documentation
* The technologies used to get content into and out of wikis
* The pros and cons of involving your community of users in the documentation process
* When a wiki might not be the best choice for delivering documentation
