I share your concerns. I've been chatting with a few people about this and made various false starts... It might not be my project, but I felt I could write down the risks I saw in how the wiki is ran: https://nixos.wiki/wiki/User:Winny/WikiRisks (including vulnerable server software)

And why don't you setup a new server yourself but instead just complain and wait?
Also your cves if they are real why not showing how to exploit them?
Because forking is also expensive and people would need to discover the new domain. Otherwise I would already have done it. We already have the issue of having too many different sources of documentation. And hacking the wiki is the last thing I want to do... I don't want get visits from the police from $someone.

Agreed. We want the wiki to listen to the community's needs and ensure continuity of it. This means a team is likely needed.

The next big problem with NixOS documentation is that there are a lot of smaller tutorials scattered around the web. Every page with a different style, focus, and depth.
What we need is one central wiki, where any problem search can begin. This is what makes the Arch wiki so great.
