I have been trying to learn more about the various vision pipeline stages while I figure out what works best on my machine, and I was quite dismayed to find a note that documentation was purposely removed? From the bottom of this page https://github.com/openpnp/openpnp/wiki/CvPipeline

"Existing documentation that was here has been moved to the stages."

Why? I can understand wanting good documentation in the software itself, but why remove it from the wiki? There are so many stages available, and right now the only way I can find to figure out what they all do is to literally sit and add each stage one at a time so I can read the limited descriptions. That's an awful experience for newcomers. 

Is there any reason all the annotations can't be added back to the wiki? No objection at all to making it clear that improvements to the wiki should also be submitted to the source code so that they stay in sync. But being able to learn about all the stages on a wiki would be so much more helpful for those of us who are new to computer vision.

To be clear, I'm willing to do the work of grabbing all documentation from the source code and add it into the wiki. But I didn't want to waste time on doing that if I was going to be overruled and reverted.
