I have to admit I've been pondering about this quite a bit, and here is 
why (sorry for not raising this earlier): if you believe the Wiki will 
allow the gfortran team to keep the web pages up-to-date more easily, for 
example by means of help from additional volunteers, we should seriously 
consider that as an option.

However, not requiring any form of copyright assignment/disclaimer/
whatever means that we will not be able to take any of that and
integrate it into our regular documentation or main web pages.  And
this does concern me.

As far as I know, some started a discussion with the FSF on how to best 
handle this, but I've not heard of any results yet, unfortunately.

Gerald
