Stefan, I really think our project should make a decision about becoming an OSGeo incubator project at some point if we are going to ask the OSGeo to host our wiki. I believe the issue of providing support for non-OSGeo projects is not settled yet, and I don't know if we want to be the project that spearheads the resolution.
So, I think we should only go with the OSGeo wiki if we want to become an OSGeo project at some point in the near future. Otherwise, I think we should take the offer from Dr. Dupre.
