First let me say that I think (and probably everybody else) that your
contributions on the wiki are extremely helpful. Thank you!

I don't think it's rotten from the start, there are good reasons to have
a static landing page with a nicer design.

As for updating, it's really easy to fork (I just did it to correct the
urls), and I'm sure David would be happy to add more writers to the
bitbucket repo.

We could of course try to have a nicer theming for moinmoin, but I'm
pretty sure it won't be as nice as the static page.
(I'd be happy to try to give a hand if someone wants to add theming).

In my opinion, the main source of informations is still the wiki and it
is complementary of the landing page, so could we just improve both?

Cheers,

Benoit
