A wiki is not a substitute for a mailing list. A mailing list is for
questions and answers, and for troubleshooting. A wiki is for
documentation.

A wiki is not a substitute for a book either. A book is written and
reviewed by editors and formatted carefully and organized and changes
are considered before being accepted. Wikis accept all changes, some
of which should never have been accepted, or should have been in
different places, or do not match the style of the rest of the
document. Especially in the case of the Subversion book, I wouldn't
change its process. I find it excellent.

That's not to say it can't be improved in places. The writers welcome
feedback. You should send it to the book mailing list. Info about how
to do that is near the bottom of http://svnbook.org/ .
