It wasn't really a 'decision to freeze it' as much as it was the result of Lud moving the site to some new software which supported it in read only mode but not in the form that was open and available to everyone to contribute. I think it did support having a small group of contributors but past history indicated that although it was popular with people and they used it a lot, the number of contributors could be counted on one hand and as a result, I think Lud chose to put his time into other site enhancements. Maybe he'll comment.
I agree .. and was actively involved at the time. It's my belief that all the information is still accessible although, as you say, it would be nice to be able to add new material and do updates
Lud should be the one to comment .. but it's my understanding that originally, at the time of the move, the wiki software you're seeing now wasn't there but Lud added it later but locked it down. You have to understand that the site is something Lud maintains in his spare time and around the time of the move, he was changing software and also adding other new functions that he thought would provide add'l benefit both to the forums and also to the Wiki. For example, he was trying to use new features to make more of the current/emerging topics available in a wiki-like way instead of replying on volunteers to statically add new info. So for him, the Wiki wasn't a priority given that not many were contributing to it. Plus we had some malicious modifications by one individual so I think there was some thinking that it maybe needed some better security.
