Oh christ...
We decide we need a new website for fairly obscure reasons, one of which
being the current idea of a wiki is somehow not good enough, spend about
a week debating whether to use subdirectories or subdomains, come to the
wrong conclusion, spend another week debating whether a shared hosting
account is enough for us or whether we need a VPS, come to the wrong
conclusion again, organize payment for the VPS, finally get the draft
website up and running and hey, guess what? It's another freaking wiki.
This whole cherade has been one epic facepalm.
What I believe was agreed was that although the wiki provided a very important function for the community, a true blog was necessary for real announcements as opposed to a bluring of wiki/mailing list/IRC. Another important aspect of the new site was to merge the NW and SE wikis together so there wasn't a lot of duplicated content. Most of this should have ended up on the mailing list, but it's just been in IRC.
