Some feedback on the wiki

[Svetlana Belkin]

Nick,

Thanks for taking the time for doing this.  My reply is in-line as always.

I also removed my action item from the blueprint since it's not needed
anymore and it was kind of redundant of Nick's.  Or I was thinking
differently and added that item.  I don't remember.

I think we can simply link (on the main page) to the Organization page
to make clearer.

A thought on a better contact page, would it be better if we have
contacts to each form of docs that we have.  A system like the LoCo
contacts, so, if someone wants a more of a private chat with someone of
that field, then it would allow them do so.  Also, it will show new
contributors who mainly works on what.

Agreed on this, see above for my comment.
