Umm... it's in the "Gentoo in the press" section, which pretty much
guarantees that it isn't something "official" from us.

It is listed as one of three resources, with the GWN being listed first.

At this point, I think you're grasping at straws.

You point to a place that is specifically designed to mention online
collaboration locations such as Gentoo-wiki, and then point out that it
mentions Gentoo-wiki.

Let me simplify what was said before to make it perfectly clear so we
can quit with this pointless "discussion".  We do not put any form of
official documentation on Gentoo-wiki.  It is not a Gentoo resource,
never has been, and likely, never will be.  Pointing out that the wiki
just *happens* to also include some information about Gentoo isn't quite
the same as telling someone "go here for the definitive answer to your
question."  Official documentation belongs on our infrastructure.
