I also agree that the wiki is not a second-class citizen.  While a 
landing page is good with a prominent "DOWNLOAD" button is nice, every 
time a newbie hits that page after the first he's looking for "Support", 
"Forums", "Mailing List", or "Wiki".  Wiki and Search need to be the 
next most prominent links.

Additionally, I'd like to say that I'm not that fond of the "new" pages. 
  While it may be pretty on some monitors, it doesn't reflow.  Note that 
the Wiki *does* reflow.  So, I wind up with horizontal scrollbars for no 
good reason if my monitor is small (think netbook at a client site), or 
I wind up with huge amounts of wasted real estate if my monitor is big 
(think 30" 2560x1600 for my home machine).
