I was rather thinking about pages maintained by their developers, but 
that the community could extend themselves.

You see, in my experience having two things for the same purpose rarely 
work well. And the sole reason why the wiki isn't good enough for 
official documentation is simply because nobody took the time to rule it.

The two domains are split because of avoiding the problems that we all 
know should be faced nowadays. Like setting how to organise pages, 
making people in charge of it, upgrading the wiki engine, and deploying 
anti-vandalism tools.

This is specially important because the documentation not only informs 
users, but also organises all the work-flows around Ubuntu. It 
influences the quality of Ubuntu in general, and its potential to 
attract new contributors.
