Okay.  I'm against this personally, but I know you want to do it.

Fedora itself does not do it this way.  I'd rather we didn't either.
I do recognize that the other Fedora Community Projects do, but I don't
consider us to be the same level as most of them.

I suppose you could compare us with the Fedora Documentation Project
at best, not the Extras Project.  And they do maintain web pages as
well as wiki pages.  In fact, they only caved and went to wiki pages
due to user input for various things to be in wiki (instead of requiring
knowledge of XML, etc).  I don't we have the same problem, and we've had
wiki since (more or less) the start unlike the Documentation Project,
so...

Yes. But why not point to their content from our web page?  No need
to be a wiki to share content...

I don't see it, but I won't stop you from doing that.  My point is, if
we want these things in the wiki, then we shouldn't have them in the
web also.  We should remove them from the web, and only have them in
the wiki, and not duplicate them in both.

I'll let the rest of the list comment, if they want.  I've already
told Jesse privately how I feel about the issue.
