Really? I understood it as the wiki being an all-purposes wiki, meaning use=
rs could (would and should) create articles on how to get some application =
running or how to get some setting working, and the developers will have th=
eir own "section", so to speak, where they can collaborate on various proje=
cts where a wiki would be an asset.
It seems to me from the discussion here on the list that it is to centraliz=
e documentation (- the official docs), so that gentoo can point to the wiki=
 and say "If it's not in our docs, maybe it's in the wiki".

I may have mistaken the actual purpose of the wiki, but then by all means, =
correct me :-)
