that has much actual community value. But when I compare our wiki to

Would we be better served by moving the wiki portion to be an actual github
wiki just like we are looking to do with the site itself?
I'm torn about this.
On its own, I don't think so. My objections to our current wiki are
mostly superficial/cosmetic stuff, and the cost of breaking all our
links as we move to something else is just not worth it for that.
If we were starting from scratch, I'd say we should give GitHub wikis
strong consideration.
If we were to move the aeolusproject.org site to GitHub Pages, this
might make more sense, since we'd need to find a place for this anyway.
But we'd have to do something with the rest of Redmine anyway, unless we
were going to replace it with something else. I think GitHub Issues are
too simplistic for what we'd want.

Sure, I'm crossing threads here but see that we are close to being able
to move the main site to github pages, but my suspicion is the DNS move
would mean we probably ought to break out redmine to its own site. If
we start to break a ton of links anyway maybe it worth considering the
cost to move the wiki portion just like we did with the site -> pages stuff.
