I agree - just think of spam stuff which might pop up right away or
editing in progress.
Content on the master pages should be somewhat approved/verified. So a
moderated (!) information flow from the Wiki to OSGeo would be
perfect.

Certainly we should consider to redo the master site from scratch if
Drupal migration continuous to be blocked by technical obstacles of
migration between major versions (as far as I understand the current
situation).
