Right. Plus, I think we can make wiki.xmpp.org much more comprehensive
because we won't be encumbered by silly rules about notability
("ejabberd is not important software!"), public references ("you can't
refer to a blog, that's not a serious publication!"), etc.

So we copy what's at Wikipedia as a way to seed the wiki, then we really
get to work.
