I imagine he's referring to the mountain of garbage that used to build
up until Magnus and I had a monster session moderating a few thousand
comments to get them back under control.

I don't see any need to have any public facing pages on a Wiki - are we
too lazy to write things up for the website when we want to present them
to the world? It's not like it's difficult to do.
For collaboration work however, the Wiki is important I think - but I
agree with Greg, we shouldn't need a second one. Can't we have an area
on the current one with looser permissions?
