To be clear, the website design includes the web site layout and
branding, wiki, forum, blog, bug reporting, (and the layout/branding of
all those components so it looks like a single coherent site rather than
the usual open-source dogs dinner), all via a single sign on. I
personally have no issue with a wiki, but for me, it doesn't all start
and end with a wiki. It is a tool. Nothing more, nothing less. And some
of the documentation I have asked for, specifically needs to be made
available on the device via the web-gui. I'm not convinced that having
the wiki as the source of that documentation is going to a) make it more
likely that others will contribute that documentation and that I won't
have to write it anyway, and b) is going to add an intermediate step
anyway, converting it from the wiki format to website/web-gui format
without the wiki specific mark-up.

With regard to your comment about me being an intermediate step, that is
not a role I want. And is why I have been working on and discussing a
build system where the non-technical can make a change to a doc file or
translation, push a single button on the website, causing the source to
be pulled from git, the package to be built and pushed to the testing
repo. I'm trying to extricate myself from the process, not trying to
take on more.

I'm not sure where you are going with that, but anyway.... No worries on
that score. If I wasn't before, (and if it has anything at all to do
with me), I'm 100% convinced of the necessity of making sure, (as far as
possible), that 3rd party commercial interests cannot "leverage" the
community project for financial gain.
