Making a whole website with text files plus a wiki seems odd. It's hard
to imagine it having good navigation. How would you feel if only the
documentation was made with darcs + markdown + Pandoc?
It seems reasonable enough to want to convert documentation to other
formats and track it with VCS. So using darcs + markdown + pandoc for
that seems reasonable. But why would you ever want to export the dowload
page to PDF? or the front page? or the support page?
In turn, using a CMS will give you a nicer-looking page, with menus and
trees and stuff to help people locate pages quickly. The CMS page can
just link to the manual as an external link.
