I'm not sure if it is a good idea. We would loose a bit control, and would have git homepage and git wiki in separate domains. On the other hand some of admin stuff would be passed to wiki hosting site. Bazaar-NG, Mercurial and Monotone (and also Emacs) have their own self hosted wikis. Git homepage at git.or.cz (or git-scm.org), Git Wiki at git.or.cz/gitwiki and free git hosting at repo.or.cz are all provided by Petr 'Pasky' Baudis (thanks a lot, again!). By the way, Git Wiki initially began as a "staging ground" for contents which would get incorporated into Git Homepage... -- Jakub Narebski Poland
