[openbeos] The Wiki

It was written on the wiki that it is a place for draft content only. I want to have this clarified, expanded, and possibly tweaked. Our main website cannot and should not be a complete compendium of data elating to Haiku. It should not be drupal.org or even spreadfirefox.com. haiku-os.org is the company, product, and everything starting point, it isn't "The home of Haiku community marketing".

Our website should the the primary starting point for all things Haiku, but if it expands beyond the corporate and close community scope, it will become 1. bloated 2. unprofessional and 3. less useful.

We have all been to mozilla.com+mozilla.org. This, at least in my opinion, is what Haiku-os.org/ should be. Mozilla also has a wiki, for secondary or peripheral content. rubyonrails.org uses a similar model. The rails wiki (rubyonrails.org/wiki/) is this:

The Rails wiki is the sprawling, weird, and wonderful pot of user contributions to the documentation and the Rails knowledge sphere. If you can't find something in the books or official guides, there's a good chance you can find it here

I would hate to see haiku-os.org become bloated with non-core information, but I would also hate to see a lost of all of the community content that there can be. I have more ideas on the structuring and formatting of content on the drupal site, but I don't want my opinions to be overbearing or for them to fall on deaf ears; I just want to help make Haiku-os.org as good as it can be.
