It isn't available via a wiki. It will be versioned with each release
(hence avoiding the need to have features marked as "since x.x" ) and
patches are welcomed via JIRA

The source code for the documentation can be found here:

http://svn.grails.codehaus.org/grails/trunk/grails-doc/

It uses the radeox engine for the templates hence is similar to
confluence mark-up so it should be easy for people to pick up. If you
want to build the docs checkout Grails and set GRAILS_HOME

svn co http://svn.codehaus.org/grails/trunk/grails-doc/

Then just run "ant" from the root of the grails-doc directory

Cheers
