Should http://guides.rails.info/ replace the official Ruby on Rails Wiki?

by mwilliams —

The ongoing hackfest at http://guides.rails.info/ to create up to date and very in depth documentation on the various components of Rails is quickly becoming a valuable resource while the official wiki quickly grows out of date with stale information and dead links. Is it time for an official wiki hackfest to bring it up to snuff or is it something that should be laid to rest?

What bothers me is that large amounts of money were donated years ago, and we still haven’t seen any decent docs.

I think all of the Wiki content should be put in to an archive. There can be an ARCHIVE overlay of some kind indicating this information is out of date, but it would still be reachable from Google results etc. A fresh empty Wiki could then be setup to start from.
