Re: Git Wiki improvements

The more I think of it... maybe it's best to leave the wiki alone.
It's not broken...it's just not great. Maybe we should just leaves
things as they are? I'm sure we can work around the problems the
software sometimes gives us. But on the other hand a move to
git.kernel.org would be easier to use it's just a lot of work to move
it over there. Anyone else have complaints about the wiki? Or maybe
I'm the only one. ;)
