The whole wiki is in dire need of a good reorg! Rather like the DSpace code, there's no centrally-funded person or team whose job it is to manage the content so it's up to volunteer efforts in the community to do this.
What I'd like to see is the 'DspaceProjects' and 'Development Areas' pages merged into a 'DSpace project database', where projects (along with current status and contact details) can be browsed and arranged by topic or aspect of DSpace being worked on. (Maybe 'effort' is a better word than 'project' as 'project' suggests a more formal process than is usually the case!) Right now, it's hard for someone to figure out if anyone else is working on a particular aspect -- basically asking on the lists is the only reasonable way.
