Yeah, I'm diving more in the wiki in preparation for a redesign for
docs.openstack.org/developer (which I think should be called
contributor/ in order to avoid collision with developer.openstack.org).
The How_to_contribute page on the wiki is way past its time and needs to
be gutted, too.

Indeed, this is something I've experienced myself. Moving content
around, changing processes, etc are things we should all be doing with
care allowing time and constant communication across multiple channels
(and taking care of proper http redirects, when possible, to instruct
web spiders, too).

In order to better map the anchors we had on the wiki, I've suggested to
add a subsection to the developer guide in infra-manual:
https://review.openstack.org/145971

so that we can have something more precise for CLA then the general link
to 
http://docs.openstack.org/infra/manual/developers.html#account-setup

I've also moved most of the content from CLA-FAQ into a set of FAQ on
Ask OpenStack, since that site gets lots more hits from search engines:

https://ask.openstack.org/en/questions/scope:all/sort:activity-desc/tags:cla,faq/page:1/
