Indeed.  A Wiki is designed for a collection of material where the content is continuously edited and expanded by a changing group of contributors.

For EN, you've already got the content, don't want to mess with that, the issue is presentation.  And Wiki has severely limited presentation options.  It doesn't even have the sequential presentation of a book.

A Wiki works when the contributors feel they are sufficiently rewarded, fulfilled, entertained, or whatever.

Wikipedia works because people are rewarded by sharing their expertise; 40 million articles, 250 languages, maybe 100 million contributors.
