[Koha] Koha wiki update/replacement

[Elaine Bradtke]

I agree with Galen, that a combination of archiving and migration is best.
The trick is winnowing out what is obsolete and keeping what is relevant.
This could get pretty granular - for instance, the reports - some of them
are non-functional due to changes in Koha over time.  I wouldn't want to
completely dump them, but it would be a lot of work to clear out the broken
ones.
