I think there is room (and raison d'etre) for both. A wiki is a 
convenient playground for new content to be "prototyped". Once stable, 
it can be migrated to a more curated model. But shutting down a wiki is 
certainly no way to grow a community (if growing a community is what 
Boost wants - sometimes I'm in serious doubt about that).
