Exactly.  We need to start fresh with the structure and the copy, keeping
the main site much more focussed on educating new users about Freenet, and
helping them get up-and-running.  More detailed content can initially
remain on the current site, but we should migrate it to Github Wiki.

I guess there is a separate debate about whether we should continue to host
our own wiki or use Github.  Almost every other active open source project
I know of avoids hosting their own web servers unless absolutely necessary
- and with good reason.  Why would we endure the burden of maintaining a
web server, with the implied security and scalability headaches, when
someone else will do it for us for free?

Ian.
