And it will make the community more visible.

Same over the gentoo/emacs wiki.

The only thing that I can think of, is that given the fact that guix
will be soon distributed over gnunet. It makes more sens to have the
official wiki also hosted on gnunet and make a copy of it available for
reading on the www. Sure it's not done yet, and it needs to be coded. I
think that we have all the pieces to make something like that happen.
