[Committee] Fwd: Wiki Spam

[S.J. Stretton]

OK maybe we should simply consolidate our work, including Mediawiki and
Camtools on our existing website and dump mediawiki?
No rush for this to get done; we also may need some more resource to do
this.
We could also start/contribute to a Community portal on Wikipedia?
Can we freeze the wiki for now?
The reverted homepage seems to be ok.
