I don't get the impression he's telling you that you can not have a 
wiki.  He's strongly suggesting that you should not create a redundant 
documentation location.  If you want to contribute, contribute back to 
the project, not in competition to it.  That is the most benefit to the 
community. 

Here's an idea:  you and others that wish to contribute documenation 
could have a private wiki to work together on.  One of the people in 
your group could be responsible for taking milestones, formatting it in 
SGML and submitting a patch to Isaac against the offcial docs.  That 
would allow for those that are intimidated with the current process to 
contribute yet keep focused on a single, official document.  You might 
even start by importing the current documentation to your wiki.
