I was thinking more about adding link to MSysGit / GitMe / WInGit in the
"Getting Git"/"Binaries" section. I'm not sure what people who put this response
in survey want...

I'm very happy with homepage / wiki separation. IMVHO having wiki for
homepage is not a very good decision. I thought that wiki would be
more staging area for homepage, and that some content after maturing
would be put on homepage.
