Okay, so for the last X years http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ would take 
you directly to the wiki, but I'd like to propose that this changes.

Why?  Simple reason, i18n/l10n Moin Moin gave us the easy ability of 
having all languages in the one wiki installation, Mediawiki doesn't, 
the proposed solution is a one-wiki-per-language setup, as such the 
proposed URL structure is fedoraproject.org/XX/wiki which fits into the 
whole fedoraproject.org/XX/ fedoraproject.org/XX/get-fedora way of things.

The change would involve mod_rewriting /wiki/Foo to /en/wiki/Foo it 
should be pretty simple but it could potentially be controversial 
(apparently some people don't like their bookmarks becoming 302s :)

This would be implemented when the testing on internationalising the 
wiki is done (say 1-3 weeks) and/or when the db1 switch over happens 
(I'm not sure on the date).

Thoughts, Comments and Suggestions are welcome!
