I do not have a TODO list, but pushing all wiki issues onto debian-www
probably wasn't the best of ideas. It seems to me that discourse would
be a good place to put them.
At the same time, what is the point of discusssion? A user thinks a
technical point on the wiki is wrong; they know it is wrong; they change
it. Where's the problem?
