I just recently updated http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/QuickStart
for upcoming 1.4

Now I am told that the authoritative QuickStart is now at
http://mercurial.selenic.com/quickstart/

mostly because of what?

Because the wiki lacks "coherent language, structure, content and
more quality control"?

Cool. I'll happily let others step forward now then.

As a side note, the top Google search result for "Mercurial" currently is
http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/, the content of which was now
replaced by what currently is at http://mercurial.selenic.com/.

Google has still the contents of http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/Mercurial
in the cache for http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/.

Let's see what happens. I'll keep my fingers off the wiki now.
If you want you can say mostly because I don't want to edit doc pages
by sending html patches to be reviewed by yet another committee
(currently consisting of a single person, as it seems).
