Not really - I meant move the wiki to another completely independent 
server.

A wiki is nice because:

* It's dirt simple to edit
* It's easy to add and remove write permission to people
* There's an automatic history of all changes
* It allows for quick organic growth. If we want to break the "Site Status" page into "Website status" and "Mailing
listsstatus", it's east to do so.
 
* It has email and rss alerts built in.
* It's easier for people to find.

I'd love to see all project-related information like this in one place, and 
a wiki seems like the best way to do so. No reason to make yet another 
resource to maintain and keep track of.
