I think this is a great idea. Hosting all these tools take away valuable man power from the dev team. As a side note I would add that a wiki is not really needed, I always found it a distraction relative to the docs. Adding to the docs is infinitely more useful than expanding the wiki. And separating tg1 and tg2 is also a good idea, it makes things clearer for everybody.
