Really? Security through obscurity?

If the site is vulnerable, then I don't believe that having the source
hidden is going to significantly deter a hacker. It will certainly
impede any attempts to fix it though.

I love vim and greatly appreciate all of the work you've put into it
and the community over the past two decades. But the website really
could use some improvement. The wiki has done a lot to fill some of
the need (a need we see regularly on the #vim IRC channel), but having
tighter integration with the main site would be far better, without
overwhelming the wiki. That's not going to happen unless people like
Marc can easily and readily provide help where they can.
