That's a shame, but as I said, if the license permits it then we'll
move the content, if it doesn't then we won't.

Creating just another wiki is what's pointless. What I want is to
deprecate all unofficial wikis (there are others besides
gentoo-wiki.com) which were created simply because there never was an
official one and creating chaos, then centralize everything in one
official wiki, and build on top of that. Fix the historic mistake.
Concentrating information from the forums and various wikis is just
the first step.
This should be the goal of all of us, yours as well. Who wants to run
around all over the internet trying to find relevant information on
various forums, wikis, blogs, etc. when an official wiki can remedy a
big part of that, making it easier to find what you're searching for.
Instead of being scattered around, we want everything in one place,
that's how it can be made even better.
