I like this idea.  I've explored it in the past but have found that its
rarely the weak point in an OSS project - but with a project the size of
GNOME maybe there are opportunities.  I've noticed some great changes on
the GNOME wiki recently - I love the way Bugzilla has been tied in with
the Wiki (gnome love page is a good example).

I will definitely look into this.
