I considered that as well. My thoughts:

1) Ungoogleabelness (if thats a word :-) - since google already ranks 
voip-info.org high on search for asterisk related content, I thought the 
docs should be where the users are, not vis-a-versa.

2) Formatability - the docs are plain text in subversion, whereas 
putting the in the wiki offers the possibility for formatting and 
auto-linking as the algorithm presents itself.

2) UI similarity - linking to the file on svn, for example:

http://svn.digium.com/view/asterisk/branches/1.6.0/doc/callfiles.txt?view=co

Brings just the plain text view, whereas putting it in the wiki offers 
the same UI as the rest of the site.


Note that all these comments are merely my thoughts - feel free to 
comment against them at will. If desired, I can update the index page 
generator to just put links to the svn instead.

Cheers!
