I think we need to be careful with documents that are needed in install and basic configuration.
I always use the channelvariables document in text format and it needs to be there, hopefully also in the svn versions.

I love wikis, but as Klaus said, they are NOT reachable in many, many cases where we install the software.
Use them for examples and keep the reference in the source tree. We also use some text files as includes
in the doxygen. Make copies of it the same way for the wiki - without allowing edits - just comments.
