Yeah i would add a general redirect for the wiki namespace and some
cstom ones for the more popular pages.

My idea was to use the same mechanism as for the plugins to gather
descriptions, metadata and poularity info on from the individual pages
in this namespace. But we can postpone this change for now - it works

That's right. I'm not sure we can get 10 people together but 5 to 6
should be possible? Let's open a count:

- Colin
- Chi
- Me

Anika is a bit busy right now, but she would be a huge help (*wink*).
Anyone else joining?
