That makes sense to me. So more broadly, how about:
- user documentation in the user guide as asciidoc (currently in
docbook/ in git, though I guess that should be moved since it won't be
using docbook anymore)
- developer documentation on the wiki
- api documentation in doxygen

If this makes sense to everyone, then:
- the wiki needs a major structural cleanup, much of it is quite
stale; I am half-tempted to wipe everything (or namespace it to old-*
or something) and start fresh

+1 no a bad idea...
 

- wireshark's doxygen output needs to be made more accessible (it's
already hosted publicly somewhere but I couldn't find a link to it)
- the developer guide and doc/README.* need to be parcelled up between
the wiki and doxygen comments, then removed
- the user's guide should be converted to asciidoc like the developers
guide, and then moved to doc/

Thoughts?
