[Server-devel] XSCE Wiki facelift :)

[Adam Holt]

More and more I've come to appreciate kickstarter pages conducive to
exploring community products in 1 long page at your own pace, without a
zillion subpages that realistically balkanizes navigability, community
efforts, and last but not least edit histories.  Just my opinion,
influenced by Mike Lee's professional web strategy opinions and others.

Just my opinion of course.  If you/others see the world differently, and
are willing to creating a clean site map for a facelift and show everyone a
better way, if people believe this genuinely enhances participation in our
community product, fantastic.

If so, can We/David/All *please* (as a general rule, now and in future)
create separate staging/scaffolding sites asking for involvement/feedback,
before summarily facelifting sizable amounts of others' work?
