Why don't we set up an official wiki for GCC documentation?

I find there is a unofficial one www.dberlin.org/gccwiki, but I guess
many people would be reluctant to write something there because there
is no guarantee for its long existence.
Wiki is a good platform for group writing, I know many researchers and
companies are using it as internal documentation platforms. The
results are always encouraging.
Even Mr.Stallman mentioned wiki somehow,
http://www.gnu.org/encyclopedia/free-encyclopedia.html. But I am very
curious why he is not using this for GCC.
The documentation of GCC is a heavily disccussed issue here. I
strongly feel wiki would be a solution for it.
Personally, I prefer MediaWiki to any other wiki engines. There is a
dedicated discussion page for each article and very nice
auto-generated table of contents. Just spend a minute to visit
www.wikipedia.org. I bet you will love it.
The GCC documentation wiki may serve as beta version of the final
formal documentation if somebody worries about its quality.
Again, spend one minute to know about wiki please.
