The Wiki is a nice idea for project lists, "Hot Bugzillas" lists and similar, but when I see pages like http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/TestingGCC and http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/HowToPrepareATestcase I really start wondering... Michael, why did you take a wwdocs patch and copy it to the Wiki, basically forking our official documentation instead of helping to improve it? I'd appreciate a patch to merge improvements into our documentation and help us avoid (and get rid) of this fork. Gerald
