Why host your own (ad revenue?, visitor tracking?, data ownership?,
etc.) when a perfectly good wiki already exists and is owned/managed by
the core group you want to help? What would happen to the data when/if
you move on to Redhat or another distro? etc. etc.

than to help out. That motive is admirable, but how do I (some guy in
another city) know that it applies?

I just think that the proper place for this data already exists.
