Looks like a cool suggestion.
But it is running on Linux.

I agree with Pierre Henri. Having the wiki be an editable version of the NHibernate docs would lower the bar for people contributing to the documentation. This would be a good thing. A quick Google revealed DocBookWiki, which is wiki software specifically designed to display and edit DocBook online. Rather than bulk importing/exporting DocBook->HTML, DocBookWiki does it on the fly and stores its content in DocBook format.

http://doc-book.sourceforge.net/homepage/

It sounds promising, but I've only read the intro page and not actually tried it out.

Personally I think that:

http://docs.nhibernate.org

would be a lot easier to remember than:

http://www.hibernate.org/hib_docs/nhibernate/1.2/reference/en/html_single/

IMHO I think docs.nhibernate.org makes more sense than wiki.nhibernate.org. Wiki is an implementation detail. Docs describes what it is.

We had a wiki a while ago (Confluence IIRC), but after the merging with hibernate.org, most of its articles where integrated in the current documentation. There are basically two options to start using one again: - (Continue to) use the current Hibernate wiki. Yes, there is one :) But it doesn't contain much NHibernate material. - Install our own wiki at either nhibernate.sourceforge.net or wiki.nhibernate.org (that's where the old one was). As far as I am concerned each of these options have their pros and cons: Using the Hibernate wiki would allow a better integration of the documentation (one website with everything). Hosting the wiki separately would allow choosing the software we want... One of the main action aside for hosting the wiki is putting some content in it since an empty wiki can be quite intimidating. Also, it seems that many would like to have the same documentation they have in the reference in that wiki (so that they can quickly edit it). This will also require some work to port the DocBook version to the wiki and keep them in sync (ie: port the edits back to the DocBook version). Something that could ease and speed up that process would be to have a wiki that support import/export from/to DocBook. I quickly googled it and it seems that there are a few tools that could be used...
