Hi Paolo,

Most of the wiki content is so out of date that I think we will be better  
off by just deleting it.
Since the wiki is currently not integrated with qgis.org, I guess people  
only end up there from Google or old bookmarks/links.

I've started some cleanup on  
http://hub.qgis.org/wiki/quantum-gis/Community_Resources#Press-Center.
Do you know how to delete images from the wiki? I couldn't find out how to  
do that.
I also cannot edit the starting page  
http://hub.qgis.org/projects/quantum-gis/wiki.

But maybe we are approaching this the wrong way ...
Do we even need a Wiki? In my experience, there has not been much  
collaboration going on there anyway. I could easily move all press  
material related stuff to the QGIS-Promotion Github page.

Would we really hurt someone if we just turn it off?

Best wishes,
Anita
