There is an intention to redesign the Community page
http://www.openstack.org/community/: maybe this can be used as a
starting point for discovery of governance, specs, infra manual,
contributor docs, etc? 

The wiki may need a new category for 'stackforge' projects but probably
it makes sense to wait until the new programs.yaml and some tags are
set. Eventually we may match those tags in wiki [[Category:]]...
something for the future. 

Between redesigning www/Community and docs/developers(contributors) I'm
quite confident that most personas currently served by the wiki will
have their interests served better elsewhere.

To answer Carol's comment: no content will be pushed out of the wiki
without a proper migration and redirection. We're discussing the "scope"
of the wiki so that we can communicate more clearly what content should
be expected to be in the wiki and what we should plan on putting
elsewhere (since so much redesigning is going on).

Indeed. The new www.openstack.org has a better navigation bar, IMHO and
the wiki pages (and mailing list archives and other sites) have been
left behind. It shouldn't be too hard to sync the navigations for the
sites and offer a common to-level path at least.
