Ah, this was a poor idea on my part.  We shouldn't have had a two stage
process.  It is changed on the wiki and should be good on the Wiki.  No
need to copy it back to a static web page.

Again, this is a failure on perhaps my part, not realizing that there
was something I was supposed to approve.  People looking on the wiki see
our updated content.  We can update the wiki much quicker and be a much
more 'live' project.  Carrying around a static website that takes effort
to change is what slows things down IMHO.

The reality of it is we are NOT a professional project.  We are a
community project put together by community collaboration.  A wiki
system is for exactly that, community collaboration.
