I fully agree with German. The wiki and the web site follow different
purposes and use cases. We need both of them but should make sure
information is always presented on the most suited system.
Duplicated information is bad, as it will most likely be out dated at
one of the places. Let us all start to go through the wiki and clean it
up more regularly. And if we see information that remains static and is
important enough, move it over to to www.gnustep.org.
