The website is the only outward-facing resource we have. It's the place
were we tell people what GNOME is, what our community is about, what our
vision & values are.

"Everything happens in the wiki" is a very introspective way of thinking
about the website. The website is not a developer tool in the way that
library.gnome.org is, it's a communication tool.

Cheers,
Dave.
