Or at least some stuff (docs and FAQ for example).

And perhaps more trusted data, like the security page which lists our
GPG KEYS and so on?  I'd rather trust a restricted web server than a
fairly unrestricted wiki for things like key signatures, etc.

I mentioned some of this in private e-mail to Jesse back a few weeks
ago (when the FC3 transition was happening) but don't know his opinion
or feelings on it.  Only know he was asking if we could get rid of
the web site altogether, and I was replying that it would be difficult
to do things like the advisories in the wiki...

Personally, there is a lot of content I don't think should be in a wiki
for various reasons, such as the security info, advisories, home page itself,
and there is other stuff I don't really care about the location of such
as the FAQ, docs, participation pages, etc.  I'm against the wholesale
move from web to wiki though, which is how this was presented to me (though
obviously as a gradual process, with the goal of eventually having no web
site).
