Can we kill the wiki?

[Blake Eggleston <be...@apple.com>]

With CASSANDRA-8700, docs were moved in tree, with the intention that they would replace the wiki. However, it looks like we’re still getting regular requests to edit the wiki. It seems like we should be directing these folks to the in tree docs and either disabling edits for the wiki, or just removing it entirely, and replacing it with a link to the hosted docs. I'd prefer we just remove it myself, makes things less confusing for newcomers.

Does that seem reasonable to everyone?

If there was a single instance of collaborative design in the wiki I would
agree with you.

Google docs have been used a bit recently and have worked well.

The Cassandra wiki isn't used for collaborative design at all as far as I can tell. Also, most of the information that is in the wiki should probably be in tree somewhere. Either as proper docs, or contribution guidelines.

Wikis are still good for collaberative design etc. Its a burden to edit the
docs and its not the place for all info.

I wonder if the recent influx has anything to do with GSoC. The student
application period begins in a few days. I don't see any Cassandra issues
on the GSoC ideas list, though.

+1 to killing the wiki as well. If that is not possible, we should at least
put a note on there saying it is deprecated and point people to the new
docs.
