I had the same problems (continuous access failures and long delays) 
today when accessing the mailing list. And I had such phases in the 
past pretty often. I don't think that it really has to do with the 
Wiki.

I must say I like the Wiki approach. For example, one can easily point 
people to a particular historic version of a document. They don't have 
to download anything, the old version is simply available as a website.
One can also easily play around with new stylesheets and the like
in a sandbox version of the document, create examples, and everything
is a website accessible from everywhere. I wouldn't talk against
an SVN/LaTeX solution, but I'm happy with the Wiki.
