I think that a Wiki is not an alternative to our website; in my opinion the
website should contain project overview, team, how to contribute, 5 minutes
tutorials and so on (and I like ours at this stage), then the wiki would
contain more detailed information regarding some components, use cases, and
so on, also it'd allow non techies to contribute documentation more easily
that PMC could eventually find worth bringing into the website.

As I can see from the Incubator website [1] we're meant to have a wiki at
https://cwiki.apache.org/CLEREZZA/ but it seems it's not there yet (I think
we didn't request it).

Clerezza provides a /documentation service so it'd be good to let people see
how it works, I think that is the main concern about this point so if there
isn't a perfect sync I wouldn't see any issue.
