A curated wiki with a navigation/page heirachy would be great. Something like wikijs

Last time I attempted to update the wiki, I wrote https://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Getting_Started which is an attempt to create such a landing page which just routes you to other pages and attempts to direct you based on use case
Imv every product wiki ends up needing such a page, probably find to revisit this
I think a board that collects the threads from old version boards would be a similar thing in terms of reducing the need to hunt for info and giving the user a way to know for sure they have found all the threads. It is basically a curated index to augment a search.

In my opinion, though these are good ideas, a Google search almost always wins. I use it all the time even though I know the forum and wiki pretty well.

They're not mutually exclusive
The way info is scattered across n wiki pages and m threads is a real problem imv, search does precisely nothing to help with this. Searching for things unknown or only vaguely known is also a problem that is helped by such curation.

Whether the information is perfectly structured or scattered all over is unimportant so long as you can find it when you need it.
I used to have a photo of Einstein's desk on the wall next to mine. It made me feel better about mine.
