I agree that overthinking and overburdening a wiki with rigid process is harmful, but some upfront organization and planning is still necessary.
Some major sections that could be defined in the wiki: - Site Home (why not use the wiki for the main part of the site, including the homepage and download page?) - Documentation (bring this dynamic and enthusiastic group back home to the main site) - Development (public planning and release schedule) - Community Council (private section, if desired) - News - Events - Marketing and Advocacy - Design and Artwork - Teams and Projects - More?
