I noticed that the Wiki is getting more and more of a third place where
to find documentation in addition of gcc/doc and wwwdocs, and a parallel
universe at that, with quite some duplication and inconsistencies.

The Wiki is a nice idea for project lists, "Hot Bugzillas" lists and    
similar, but when I see pages like http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/TestingGCC  
and http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/HowToPrepareATestcase I really start 
wondering...

Michael, why did you take a wwdocs patch and copy it to the Wiki, 
basically forking our official documentation instead of helping to
improve it?  I'd appreciate a patch to merge improvements into our
documentation and help us avoid (and get rid) of this fork.

Gerald
