Wikipedia: Appropriate for Autodesk documentation?

According to its own site, Wikipedia is a multilingual, web-based, free content encyclopedia project. The name is a combination of the words wiki (a type of collaborative web site) and encyclopedia. Wikipedia is written collaboratively by volunteers who have "expert" knowledge in their respective fields. Wikipedia articles can be edited by anyone with access to the site.

For example, there is an entry for DWF.

Fotolia_1739577_200 Tools Documentation Lead, Brad Wait, and Senior Technical Writer, Chris Blocher, want to know what types of Autodesk information would you like to see provided in the wiki format? For instance, would you trust Autodesk application help if it were provided in a wiki fashion? Please email Scott Sheppard with your ideas on applying wiki technology to Autodesk products or post a comment to this blog article. There's more than application development alive in the lab. We're concerned about the documentation too!
