I imagine he's referring to the mountain of garbage that used to build 
up until Magnus and I had a monster session moderating a few thousand 
comments to get them back under control.

I don't see any need to have any public facing pages on a Wiki - are we 
too lazy to write things up for the website when we want to present them 
to the world? It's not like it's difficult to do.

For collaboration work however, the Wiki is important I think - but I 
agree with Greg, we shouldn't need a second one. Can't we have an area 
on the current one with looser permissions?
