Also, don't forget. The WineHQ docs are in SGML which provides tools to convert it to any format. (html, PS, PDF, etc.) We really don't want to give up on those abilities.
For any page that isn't SGML, sure it could be converted into a Wiki. In fact, I'm now considering moving the entire WineHQ site to the wiki. You all have been doing a bang up job keeping the Wiki updated. So far proving me wrong that all Wiki's are junkyards of useless outdated information. The only problem would be the WWN issues.

I'm willing to move every simple textual (static content) page from the website to the Wiki and link from the website to the corresponding pages.
I think this is a bad idea.
The current system ensures that changes to the core parts of WineHQ are reviewed before being made, whereas a Wiki can allow things to change willy-nilly, often reflecting the views of the last person to touch a page, rather than a consensus.
For things that are relatively fluid, like statii and such, I think the Wiki makes great sense. But for things that are, essentially, static, I think the current static web site works fine.
