tracking when something changed needs to be maintained painstakingly in
Documentation.html. As I recall, adding that to the wiki was a workaround
to deal with the fact that Documentation.html is always targeted at a
specific release version. The wiki had to deal gracefully with multiple,
and sometimes conflicting, configuration values. I'm all for merging the
two; I try to keep the wiki updated from time to time but obviously that
falls apart when I'm too busy.

whatever solution you all find will be great.

FYI : there is a third place where information/documentation about the
configuration options can be found, i.e. the libraries\config.Inc.php
