Matthew East just found a plausible explanation of what happened on
#ubuntu-doc:

 1) Corey came in and wanted to replace everything with a wiki
 2) People said "no thanks", then Corey tempered his goals a bit.  Since
    people were not inside Corey's mind, this was not obvious to the
    most :)
 3) Today I've been discussing with Corey, and we talked about the
    problems of the current wiki and how to propose improvements to it.
    I suggested him to start collecting facts in order to make a nice
    report to Canonical: "why the wiki sucks", "what it is blocking",
    "what it would need to improve".
 4) Corey did start this collection: his "Hung up on wikis" post today
    is just about that: if you have issues with the current wiki (say,
    for example, it doesn't remember your login), then please add your
    bit to Corey's post.

All fine so far.
 
The misunderstanding seems to have come out from this part on the "Hung
up on wikis" post:

 "Please add to this list. I/Enrico hope to have a list of specific and
 concrete things that we can take to Canonical to get our wiki fixed."

That was about improving the current wiki, but people probably
understood that it was about creating together a plan about throwing
away all our loved infrastructure.  Boom.

Many thanks Matthew for the investigation :)

It was held because of the size.  I've finally seized control of the
list, so I could approve it in.


Ciao,

Enrico
