The wiki work is really sweet.

As far as the big picture goes, the plan is to get yarrr publicly
usable.  This is going to involve stabilizing it a bit, and cleaning up
some of the details.  In particular, we want to be able to push comments
into the wiki text, instead of just having them dangle off the edge of
the yarrr.  The same goes with images.  We can also clean up the wiki
itself and make it more GNOMEy.

I'm still not 100% sold on mediawiki over MoinMoin, but it seems to be
working fine for what we want.  I'm coming to the conclusion that
mirroring live.gnome.org is going to confuse people, so a fresh page is
probably better.

We're still a little bit screwed on the server, as we got pushed out
(again) to the last week of June.  However, we have a quote for the
machine, and it will be ordered shortly.  In the interim, we can set up
Colin's test machine to have an external-facing port and run off of
that.

Looking beyond the wiki stuff, I'd like to explore some 'native' uses of
yarrr.  For example, Rhythmbox knows what song/album you're listening to
at a given moment.  It would be pretty awesome to be able to know how
many other people are listening to the same album, and have a
yarrr-space were you can discuss it.  Keying off of files in CVS in an
editor would be pretty awesome too.  We don't necessarily have to get
the full yarrr functionality in individual apps -- just a link to the
appropriate page w/ presence information would be a pretty cool start.

Thanks,
