You over estimate how visible stuff in mantis is. :)

Do you mean for documentation in code, or in the wiki?  If it's for the
code, I think mantis is appropriate.  If it's in the wiki I think there
are better ways to do that.

We just started using macros in the wiki like {{obsolete}} and
{{content}} that help to tag parts of the wiki that need work.  I owe a
structural guideline for the wiki as well.

It also turns out that because the template is so changed from the media
wiki default a lot of people didn't realize opensimulator.org was
actually a wiki, and that they could edit it.  I'm going to craft a new
opensim theme that keeps the color scheme, and some of the graphics, but
makes the layout look more like monobook in the hope that this helps get
more people to participate.
