Hello all!
Quick intro to everyone: I'm a software trainer and documentation guy in my day job, and I'd emailed Thomas off-list previously asking to help out with this incredibly useful project. I'll never use Squirrelmail again! :)
I know this might be jumping the gun, but I looked at Trac's website and there's a MediaWiki to TracWiki conversion script, so I figured I'd get the ball rolling by setting up a wiki on my own site with the structure suggested at the top of this thread (thanks, Geoffrey!). There's no real content there as of yet, but feel free to add/edit/delete! If we decide not to use it, or Trac gets set up really quickly, then this will be superfluous and I'll take it down, but I figured in the interim, we could harness the momentum, right?
Here it is: http://roundcubewiki.baizman.net/
Go for it, Roundcube users and developers, start contributing! If you need help, email me at marc@baizman.net. I'll be contributing to this as well, of course.

Once we get started on the wiki docs in trac, it won't be that hard to transition to another wiki (mediaiwki for example) should we need it. The markup and things are similar, so I'd think there should be an import script, or even manually, it'll be pretty easy. The key is to get a start.
Wordpress for example uses trac for source control management, reporting and tickets (http://trac.wordpress.org), and mediawiki for documentation (http://codex.wordpress.org). It's working out well for them, but like I said, once we have the documentation, it might be a week's worth of time to transition over. So the key is to just get started, IMHO :-)

Call me old fashioned, but for me I prefer Media Wiki:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki
It has a clearly defined informational structure, which personally I
feel is more easy to understand.
I think this thread though highlights the fundamental problem with ANY
wiki, we all have different comfort levels and understand structure in different ways. There's nothing wrong with a lose structure, but some people (like me) find it confusing. However, other people, find highly structured sites constricting and a pain to manage.
Which camp is right? We are all. :)
I'd say this was my 2 pence, but I just noticed GBP has dropped slightly
against the yen so my opinion is now literally worth nothing.

The lack of structure is clearly a problem on that wiki.
Take a look at CakePHP's wiki: https://trac.cakephp.org/ You can define a custom navigation in Trac. Should you need something more structured, I'd suggest you all to take a look at Hieraki: http://www.hieraki.org They have a demo working athttp://demo.hieraki.org/frontpage/index
Hope it helps. Ale Muñoz P.S: Maybe it is just my mailer, but shouldn't the Reply-to:header
be set by the mailing list to dev@lists.roundcube.net? I can'treply to posts by hitting "Reply"...
