I can commit stuff if you want. I may be able to help you get your svn 
account to work too :).

What do you mean with losing control over navigation?

It's faster to contribute to a wiki because one does not need to hunt 
for the svn file corresponding to the visible page.

One thing to take care with the wiki is voluntary defacement or just 
plain user mistake. There should be a monitoring system to notify HIG 
authors of changes.

Another advantage of the wiki is that it makes it possible to discuss 
the page content through the "Discussion" tab.

My vote: wiki
