IMO :
- decision matrix are useful to decide which lib to use (i.e. which
one supports the features I need ;o). BTW that's something cool about
wikipedia ;o)
- project metrics and build results are useful to have a idea
of project dev status (e.g. coverage, test results, ...).
- the rest goes to issue tracker + project (sites | wikis). that's what
they are for ;o)
