updating wiki

[Jonathan Aquilina]

Zach thign is the wiki's need an overhaul in general imho as they have how
to's for release which have been EOL'ed ages ago.

also for instance there is no mention on the dovecot wiki that encrypted
home directories shouldnt be used. i have spent the last month trying to
figure out why im having email issues :(.

Would it be possible to develop some sort of game plan to update all wiki's
and how to's so they are up to date with more recent supported releases?
