Sorry, but having the same information duplicated in several places is
not fine: it's a mess.

We must decide where the specifications are and who makes changes or
additions (like alexbruy for the "category" metadata in this case)
must update the master specifications and warn the other involved
developers to be sure they don't miss the update (for example: Gary
should also take this category into account for his plugin builder).

Other documents should only provide a pointer to the master specifications.

It's fine for me to keep the master specifications on the wiki, I see
it is already in sync with the specs on github, right ?
