Actually we are interested and are thinking about installing a WIKI on
opencms.org, but this may take some time (serveral months) until we have it
up and running. 

And no, or business does not rely on "holding back information". We try to
provide information and documentation as much as we can. However, we need to
concentrate on work we get paid for, because we are just a small company and
people need to get their check at the end of the month.

Since it was mentioned: We at Alkacon will certainly not loose any advantage
by providing better documentation. It's quite the opposite: As the lack of
good documentation is one of the most often mentioned "issues" with OpenCms,
providing better documentation should increase the size of the OpenCms user
community, and therefore lead to more business for us. 

Still, we currently do have no time or resources to invest in a major
documentation effort. We will most certtainly work on this in the future,
though. 

Kind Regards,
Alex.
