Another side of this that I discussed with Rich a few weeks ago, is that I
am in the process of shutting down my old business which was funding the
hosting of the wxRuby anbd FreeRIDE wikis. So we will also be moving the
wikis (and the domain name ownership) to RubyForge. Of course, the wxRuby
wiki doesn't have much information on it yet (but the FreeRIDE wiki does).

This is the way I would do it!

I don't think its particularly important at this stage of development.
