Currently gnomedesktop.org and gnomesupport.org are handled 
independently of the rest of Gnome.  If we were to list them on 
gnome.org page header, then that would essentially make it official.  
And if it is official, why no host it under gnome.org (consistent use of 
a single domain name is a very good way of indicating what's official 
and what isn't).

Also, I'm not sure whether we want an official wiki that allows 
anonymous editing.  I was just looking over it and found that the 
IrcChannels page had been altered to include links to a search engine 
optimisation website (I've emailed stro about this).  Unless an open use 
wiki is closely monitored, it seems like it is only a matter of time 
before it gets defaced.
